Alabaster Coaching

Alabaster Coaching is a new and bespoke developmental, trauma-informed and person centred coaching service for justice-involved mothers in the UK. The coaching model is designed from research and the voiced needs of mothers within the justice system who in many cases are still badly underrepresented and served, for more safe, compassionate, actively listening spaces for self reflection, expression, connection and exploration of their maternal identity, choices, emotions and needs. The trained female coach in collaboration with the mother, whether one-to-one or in small groups, supports and empowers each individual mother in their personal goal setting, whether they are actively parenting or not, in their journey toward greater self-understanding, goal attainment and personal development, which also encourages better reintegration back into their families and society and a more positive future. The service is also designed to support a wider set of holistic, desistance interventions.
