We can open the door, but only you can walk through it.
We are passionate about the mental health of those with lived experience of the criminal justice system
We know that people in prison are more than twice as likely to experience mental-ill health than the general public.
We upskill people in prison through mental health awareness and wellbeing training, accredited by Mental Health First Aid England.
We provide safe spaces to discuss sensitive topics with peers, free from judgement and full of support.
We support people to leave prison and pursue a more meaningful life away from crime.
TESTIMONIALS
Project participant, HMP Wandsworth
“This gave me valuable knowledge about mental health which in the past I didn't even know would exist. Great improvement for my life.”
HMPPS project liaison, HMP Highpoint
“I am proud to be a part of the work that Unlock My Life does, and as many do, see a real value and benefit in the message that is being promoted.”
Nathan Fitzjohn, Project Lead (South/East)
“I’ve had a lot of highs over the years from various drugs, but coming out of jail knowing how many people we have helped is better than any high there is.”
Nardein Murrihy, Project Lead (Female Estate)
“I’ve done two, long therapeutic communities in my 11 years in jail, and I’ve learned more in 15 minutes with Unlock My Life than I did in six months with the others.”
We couldn’t do the work we do without the support of our funders. We’d especially like to thank Jamma International for their significant multi-year funding of our project, their unwavering support and their partnership in creating the ‘Brain Smart’ element of our training.
