About PRHA
Unlocking People Networking Day
The PRHA offender services team are hosting a free day of networking & training on Friday September 11th around the theme of working effectively with people who 'fall through the gaps' between services. ‘Unlocking People' is aimed at services which work with offenders & ex-offenders in the boroughs of Tower Hamlets & City & Hackney. Please see attached flyer for an overview of the day.
The day will be free of charge & lunch will be provided!
Providence Row Housing Association manages a number of schemes that work with ex-offenders, some of whom have mental health problems & many of whom have drug & alcohol problems. We have many years of experience in working with service users who would otherwise 'fall through the gaps'. Typically, the people with whom we work find it very hard to engage with services, have complex multiple needs & can present challenges to services.
The aim of this free day is to bring together agencies from the boroughs of Tower Hamlets, City & Hackney so that we can share ideas, network & learn together. By the end of the day, we will have developed key recommendations & suggestions on ways to work more closely together, deliver more 'joined-up' services & how to effectively support service users who may otherwise be 'lost' in the system.
It will also give you a chance to meet a diverse range of other people working in the fields of mental health, housing, substance misuse, dual diagnosis, criminal justice system & the voluntary sector. You will have the opportunity to network, make valuable links & publicise the work that you do (you are welcome to bring your publicity materials & information to the event).
Please let us know if you wish to attend - as places will be limited!
