AWARE project: kick-off meeting in Germany
Bremen, 20th – 21st December, 2018
Bremen, 20th – 21st December, 2018
This project is an integrated response to non-discrimination and to social inclusion of those who suffer from the double challenge and stigma of both a criminal record and mental health problems.
The partnership will develop a training course for people working in the criminal justice system, communities and families of prisoners. The objectives are both to raise awareness and to offer practical support so that we are all better able to support mental health sufferers at critical points during their release from prison.
The event that marked the launch of the AWARE project took place in Bremen. The AWARE project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme - Strategic Partnerships for Adult Education.
