Health Empowerment For Women involved with The Criminal Justice Sistem

<< Objectives >>Starting from the need for gender-specific health education in the context of justice, our project proposes setting a Framework for Health Literacy based on evidence, creating the context of collaboration between the medical staff and those involved in education to offer higher quality programs adapted to the current context. Women in prison are often even more affected and have disproportionately higher level of mental health, suicide, self-harm, drug dependence and other health needs.<< Implementation >>In He4her, through the common European effort of practitioners and support networks, we are creating a new health literacy program, tailored to the needs of the target group, replicable and sustainable in any European context in which the target group is present:- Needs assessment- Creating educational content- Training the staff to update the competencies- Connect and involve civil society organisations- Communicate with peers from Europe in a learning context and exchange.<< Results >> Using the experience and expertise of the partners, taking into account the needs of the target group, we will create an health educational product available online and offline that will empower the target group to make more informed decisions regarding their health, but also a product that can also be used by women who work with the target group or by any woman who will access it. Our proposal is supported with dissemination, peer review and further exploitation European and international.
