What you’ll be doing
As a Mental Wellbeing Coach for our new prison-based mental wellbeing service, you will support people in prison to navigate their way through the complex health and social care environment, removing the barriers that may impede self-management and helping to embed coping strategies.
The service works in collaboration with partner organisations to provide one-to-one support and group support, as well as targeted wellbeing courses tailored to the specific priorities of people in prison; to enhance their overall wellbeing including their mental health, coaches will provide brief psychological interventions and coping techniques.
