موضوع به انگلیسی:Supporting people leaving prisons during
COVID-19
بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – Currently, people leaving prisons face concurrent risks fromthe COVID-19 pandemic and the
overdose public health emergency. The closure or reduction of community services people rely on after
release such as treatment centres and shelters has exacerbated the risks of poor health outcomes and
harms. This paper aims to learn from peer health mentors (PHM) about changes to their work during
overlapping health emergencies, as well as barriers and opportunities to support people leaving prison in
this context.
Design/methodology/approach – The Unlocking the Gates (UTG) Peer Health Mentoring Program
supports people leaving prison in British Columbia during the first three days after release. The authors
conducted two focus groups with PHM over video conference in May 2020. Focus groups were recorded
and transcribed, and themes were iteratively developed using narrative thematic analysis.
Findings – The findings highlighted the importance of peer healthmentorship for people leaving prisons.
PHM discussed increased opportunities for collaboration, ways the pandemic has changed how they are
able to provide support, and how PHM are able to remain responsive and flexible to meet client needs.
Additionally, PHM illuminated ways that COVID-19 has exacerbated existing barriers and identified
specific actions needed to support client health, including increased housing and recovery beds, and
tools for social and emotional well-being.
Originality/value – This study contributes to our understanding of peer health mentorship during the
COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of mentors. PHM expertise can support release planning,
improved health and well-being of people leaving prison and facilitate policy-supported pandemic
responses.
