CJPE Summer Course: Mental Health in Criminal Justice

Barcelona will host the 5th edition of the CJPE Summer Course, with the theme ‘Mental health issues in criminal justice’ (4 – 7 July 2023).

The stream offered by CEP will focus on The Challenge of Being Human – Mental Health at Work, from both the service-user and practitioner perspectives. It will include understanding the impact of trauma on our brain and body and how this links to mental health. The mental health presentations can impact the role and work with an emphasis on understanding distress rather than diagnosis. An opportunity to explore staff resilience in a critical occupation focusing on how to thrive at work, among other relevant topics. Expert speakers at this workshop will be Laura Bowden, Jo Clarke and Charlie Brooker.
