Working in Forensic Mental Health services is very rewarding but very demanding too. Service users are people with severe and complex mental health conditions (e.g. Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder and may be associated with Personality Disorder, Substance Misuse and PTSD) who are detained under the Mental Health Act (MHA), usually under sections related to treatment and public safety (e.g. Section 37/41). They may have a criminal history or be involved in the criminal justice system.
