Stage 1: Intensive Support Suite (ISS)
The Intensive Support Suite provides early-stage stabilisation for women and girls at the most vulnerable point of their recovery journey.
Women entering Stage 1 are often coming from crisis, unsafe accommodation or environments where recovery has not been possible. The ISS offers a calm, women-only environment where immediate pressure is reduced, support is available and trust can begin to form.
What Stage 1 provides:
- Safe, secure, abstinence-based accommodation
- High levels of practical and emotional support
- Trauma-informed and lived experience support
- Support with safety planning, health, routines and wellbeing
- Support with accessing the correct benefits and practical support
- Clear boundaries, structure and consistency
