The Guyana Prison Service in collaboration with the education sector is making efforts to enhance the quality of the care of its prisoners.
In a release recently, the University of Guyana announced that its Institute for Human Resiliency, Strategic Security, and the Future (IHRSSF), had on Thursday, launched a ground-breaking First Responders Course on Mental, Neurological, and Substance Abuse Disorders (MNS). The launch, which was held in the Education Lecture Theatre at the university’s Turkeyen campus, is a collaborative effort between UG, the Guyana Prison Service, and the University of Leicester, and is aimed at addressing critical gaps in mental health care within the prison system.
