Mental health in prison

The course “Mental health in prison” prepares trainees to better identify and deal with mental health challenges among the prison population. In particular, this training course addresses the signs and procedures of mental health issues among the inmates, suicide prevention and self-harm within the incarcerated population, and special needs, including gender (the mental health of women prisoners) and age (the mental health of young offenders), among other pressing issues. The target groups are individuals and/or organisations responsible for prisoners and professionals from entities linked with/or collaborating in initiatives that promote the health of prisoners and/or prison staff. No prerequisite is required. This course lasts seven hours (5h of e-learning + 2h of self-study) and consists of 8 chapters. The MenACE project was co-funded by the European Commission under the ERASMUS + programme - KA2 - Strategic partnerships for adult education.
