<p>All Prison Officers complete the Prison Officer Entry Level Training which includes
sessions on mental heallth, self-harm and suicide and personality disorder. There
has very recently been the development of a new course specifically for the female
estate called POWER – Positive Outcomes for Women: Empowerment & Rehabilition.
This is a two-day programme and is due to be rolled out shortly across the estate.
One of the modules specifically refers to mental health in the female estate, with
an aim to ensure delegates gain an overview of the mental health needs of female offenders
and how this impacts on offending – including understanding the main disorders found
in women in prison; the challenges caused by psychosis and schizophrenia; and explores
the personality disorder pathway and personality disorder services.</p><p> </p><p>
