Prison Mental Health Professionals Toolkit
Mental health professionals in prisons face the consequences of supervising people with mental ill-health on a daily basis, yet frequently do not receive the necessary training or support. This toolkit helps health professionals and mental health workers in prisons to imbibe this change which provides the requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes to understand the role of mental illness in the criminal justice system. It provides a series of questionnaires in order to aid prison medical and mental health professionals in prisons to know what, when and how to ask about issues pertaining to mental health. The aim of this toolkit is to be a quick guide for clinical interactions with those at risk of or suffering from mental illness.
