Mental Health Awareness Toolkit – Punjab
There are 96, central and district level, prisons across Pakistan which house a diverse mix of people. Some inmates may be dangerous and violent, many in need of medical attention and others who may be physically or mentally vulnerable for socioeconomic reasons. All those who deal with prisoners with mental illness do not have a duty to diagnose mental disorders or provide welfare services to defendants, they do have a duty to ensure that vulnerable defendants are treated fairly and in accordance with law. This toolkit seeks to help prison staff understand better and respond appropriately to the mental health needs of prisoners. It focuses on the steps the prison staff can take to promote and protect mental health and well-being of prisoners.
