PEVENSEY WARD
Pevensey is a 16 bed low secure service for males with complex, long-term psychiatric conditions, behaviours that challenge and increased risks to themselves and others.
Our model of care adopts least restrictive practice principles to focus on enablement, positive risk-taking, therapeutic optimism, relapse prevention and reducing episodes of challenging behaviour while preparing individuals to transition into step-down or community settings.
Our extensive in-house multi-disciplinary team works collaboratively with each service user to develop bespoke care-plans that are centred upon their needs, challenges and aspirations.
The psychology department offer specific offence-focused therapies including one to one and group sessions on arson/fire-setting, sexual violence and restorative intervention. We use recognised clinical outcome measures to monitor and evidence progress and adopt a holistic approach to rehabilitation.
