Dr. Marion Wilson

Dr. Marion Wilson completed her Graduate Diploma and MA in Counselling, and Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision, at York St John University. In 2017 she undertook six months' research in a Category C prison to better understand the bereavement experiences of male prisoners. Marion is currently employed by Cruse Bereavement Support, managing the Grief Inside project. This MoJ-funded project aims to provide a range of bereavement support services across seven prisons, comprising Category B, C and D male establishments, as well as female open and closed prisons. The project is being evaluated by a team from the University of York St John and the University of Lincoln.
