Abstract:
As part of a participatory health research project seeking to support men in achieving their health goals during the transition from prison to community, a workshop program was developed and piloted in a Community Residential Facility in British Columbia, Canada. The pilot program was evaluated through feedback surveys at each of the 16 workshops and a focus group interview at the end of the program. Workshops were highly valued by participants and seen as a means for (1) building skills relevant to their health and wellness, (2) working toward changing attitudes and behaviors adopted in prison, and (3) helping others and accepting help from others. Similar programs may be an effective support for men working to achieve their health goals during other transitions (e.g., bereavement, cancer patients, returning soldiers, and veterans).
