Key themes that drive our work:
Collaboration and Building Community
We have supported relational work to develop bonds between Council members and between Council members and researchers, ensuring effective collaboration and a supportive environment.
Research and Advocacy
The Council consistently focuses on integrating lived experiences into research, identifying gaps in prison healthcare, and advocating for policy changes.
Feasibility and Funding
Discussions often include assessing the feasibility of proposed projects and securing funding to sustain the Council’s work
Guest Speaker Engagement
Guest speakers doing work related to prison health provide insights which inform the Council’s ongoing discussions and planning. Council members engage with the guest speakers and give feedback on their projects based on vital lived experience.
