PEER MENTORING PROGRAMME FOR PRISON STAFF

Description

The M4Pris: Peer mentoring programme for prison staff project is co-funded by the European Union and implemented by seven (7) organisations in five (5) European countries (Denmark, Portugal, Romania, Belgium, Greece).

M4Pris aims to provide prison staff with a state-of-the-art peer mentoring programme to tackle:

  • mental health issues;
