Mental health in closed institutions and custodial settings

Join us on this Mind Matters webinar to explore psychiatry in closed institutions as well as suicide and self-harm in custodial settings in the UK and internationally.

In this webinar, Professor Andrew Forrester will discuss the above topics, particularly his interest in prisons and healthcare provision, in the context of human rights and social justice. Institutions to be considered include prisons, secure hospitals, immigration centres, police custody, and other areas.

We will learn Professor Forrester’s views on marginalization, vulnerability, and the adequacy of care and treatment of incarcerated groups, and hear about his ideas to effect change and improvements in institutions and across healthcare systems.

During this webinar you will:

• Understand the complex array of individual, institutional and sociopolitical difficulties encountered by vulnerable people detained in institutions
• Delegates will be able to cite efforts nationally and internationally to improve care and facilities for incarcerated people
• Raise awareness of the difficulties encountered in trying to integrate the array of institutions in resource allocation and management
• Increase delegate influence to effect change in the above areas
