During the financial year, Room To Talk CIC continued to provide extensive individual and therapeutic group interventions, facilitated by mental health professionals and complimented by peer and volunteer delivery. Services offered by Room To Talk CIC are accessible within the prison estate, immigration and removal centres and within the community. Our services are delivered in person, remote online, written text and over the telephone. Multi-delivery options offered the greatest inclusion for our vulnerable and marginalised population who continued to be at risk in the community from potential harm and abuse. We continued to expand our therapeutic approaches and the number of sessional therapists delivering both 1-1 sessions and group facilitation. We have increased our group work delivery in the community and have offered more creative ways for our clients to communicate their emotions by drawing, using family constellation and mindfulness exercises. Our directive continues to be to promoting trauma recovery, emotional rehabilitation, acceptance of self, personal growth and relational connectedness. Room To Talk CIC have also provided further critical incident debriefs to our prison population, following serious harm to self or others, including prison staff and their families. We have expanded our therapeutic provisions to include specialist trauma responses following critical incidents within prisons and extending to witnessed events within the community. We continue to actively seek further expansion in this area and are exploring funding opportunities so that we might offer additional community follow-up support after immediate CISM (critical incident stress management) debriefs. Room To Talk CIC have introduced specialist therapeutic support and training to prison staff to encourage team and individual cohesion following traumatic incidents and subsequent changes to the safety regime. The expansion into working with more prison staff has enabled us to expand our specialist therapeutic individual and group delivery. We have delivered specialist trauma debriefs following high profile community incidents within the last 12 months and continue to provide first line support following death in custody and life-changing injuries. Room To Talk CIC has ambitious plans for the coming year and are tendering for additional services, delivered within the private prison sector.
Stakeholders are the clients, families and staff that Room To Talk CIC provide therapeutic services to. Room To Talk CIC continued to circulate feedback forms following interaction with the service and taken direct verbal and visual feedback from our service users that are unable to communicate in written form due to learning difficulties or when communicating in their mother tongue or non-verbally. We offered an inclusive and neurodivergent service to our beneficiaries, in part due to our own neurodivergent and multi-lingual therapists. Room To Talk CIC are hoping to grow the diversity and inclusion delivery to introduce therapists to BSL, offering services to deaf children accessing our family services. Room To Talk CIC remains committed to reducing incidents of self-harm and attempted suicide within the prison estate. We actively promote open discussion with our beneficiaries for creative and innovative solutions for continuity of current provision and the introduction of new services.
