The Dene provides medium, low & acute secure level assessment and therapeutic programmes for men and women with mental illness, personality disorders and/or mild learning disabilities.

The service admits patients who, by the nature of their mental disorder and risk behaviours, are deemed to require care and treatment either in the medium, low secure or acute services provided by The Dene.

Creative activities are available in a purpose built art room and workshop, and patients have use of two practice kitchens. There is also a patient library which enables the patients to participate in a basic skills programme with the education team.
