About Wren

Wren is the first public and private partnership of its kind, designed to transform mental health care for women*.

Clinicians, women and their support network come together to understand women’s experiences and develop gender, violence and trauma-informed care and support. We are committed to working in innovative ways to support women throughout their recovery journey.

As a first-of-its-kind service, we will listen, learn and share best practice with others.

Who is Wren for?

Wren provides specialist in-patient mental health treatment and care for women and anyone who identifies as a woman, aged 18 years and over, presenting with severe mental illness.

What we offer

A service created for women, by women. Specialising in expert-led, trauma-informed care delivered by a diverse community of professionals. We focus on collaborative decision-making, elevating your voice, on a shared journey towards your recovery.

Choose in-hospital or in-home care

We offer both inpatient and in-home support, built around your needs and wishes. If you would like to know more, talk to your GP or mental health clinician about getting a referral.

* We identify the importance of language and have carefully considered the use of 'women/woman' in this context. We recognise that language is ever-evolving and we use these terms to refer to anyone who self-identifies as a woman, regardless of sex assigned at birth or gender expression. We continue to support the gender diversity of our participants and respect their preferences. Our goal is to create a space that is inclusive, respectful, and welcoming of diverse gender expressions, while maintaining a focus on women’s mental health.
