Therapy & Activity

The State Hospital aims to provide treatment of patients’ mental health needs by promoting recovery and reducing their risk of future reoffending. Psychological therapies are a core component of the treatment of patients with severe complex mental disorders and are at significant risk for offending.

The Skye Centre service is defined by four Activity Centres (Patient Learning, Sport & Fitness, Craft & Design, and Gardens & Animal Assisted Therapy) and a Health Centre. It also includes an Atrium where patients can access the Activity Group Room, Café, Library, Shop and Bank. A variety of groups and services are facilitated in the Skye Centre including the Patient Partnership Group, Christian Fellowship Group, Multi-faith services, Psychological Therapies groups and Allied Health Professions groups. A number of volunteers support activity within the Skye Centre.
