Area of Science:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Mental Health Care
  • Correctional Officer Education

Background:

  • Individuals with mental illness are disproportionately represented in carceral settings, raising concerns about their care.
  • Correctional officers often serve as the initial point of contact for incarcerated individuals experiencing mental health crises.
  • Officers lack formal mental health training, impacting their ability to provide appropriate care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on mental health educational interventions for correctional officers.
  • To propose a framework for designing and implementing effective mental health education programs for correctional staff.
  • To synthesize research findings with practical experience in developing such a program.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies linking mental health education factors to officer knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
  • Synthesis of findings with practical experience from developing a program at a Canadian detention center.
  • Development of a five-principle framework for correctional officer mental health education.

Main Results:

  • Limited literature suggests specific educational factors can improve officer knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
  • A five-principle framework is proposed, emphasizing intentional design, inclusivity, interactive methods, instructor relatability, and institutional integration.
  • The framework aims to enhance the quality of mental health support within carceral environments.

Conclusions:

  • Mental health education is crucial for correctional officers to improve care for incarcerated individuals.
  • A structured, evidence-based, and integrated approach to education is necessary for success.
  • The proposed framework offers guidance for developing and evaluating effective mental health training programs for correctional staff.
