Enhancing wellbeing and resilience within prisons: A psycho-educational approach for the missing middle.

许多囚犯患有精神疾病和心理困扰，据发现这与重复犯罪有关。此外，监狱官员也感到高度焦虑和痛苦。该项目旨在确定囚犯和监狱官员的心理健康需求和导致心理困扰的因素。打算制定简短的干预方案，以解决“中间缺失者”（没有得到服务的痛苦程度较高的人）的需求。这些方案旨在进行评估，以确定它们是否防止参与者的心理健康恶化，以及结果是否减少了囚犯的重复监禁，并提高了官员的工作满意度和绩效。

Many prisoners experience mental illness and psychological distress, which has been found to relate to repeat offending. Moreover, prison officers also experience high levels of anxiety and distress. This project aims to identify the mental health needs and factors that lead to psychological distress among prisoners and prison officers. Brief intervention programs intend to be developed to address the needs of the ‘missing middle’ (those with elevated levels of distress who are not receiving services). The programs aim to be evaluated to determine whether they are preventing mental health deterioration among participants and whether the results reduce repeat incarceration for prisoners and increase job satisfaction and performance for officers.
