- Bridging the Gap: Peer Health Mentoring Program with Men Leaving Federal Correctional Facilities
This community-based participatory research project seeks to answer the question, “Will peer health mentoring result in successful reintegration and achievement of health goals for men leaving federal correctional facilities in BC?” The aim is to determine what the health goal priorities are for formerly incarcerated men and if peer health mentors improve the achievement of individuals’ health goals. The project will invite, train, and support formerly incarcerated individuals to become peer health mentors. The mentors will work with men recently released from correctional facilities to address and meet their self-identified health goals.
Presenting will be: Dr. Ruth Martin and Larry Howett
