Training and support: tools for promoting health in prisons.

In the Brittany region, the Ireps was tasked by the regional health agency with training healthcare professionals working in correctional facilities on health promotion. The goal is to foster a shared culture and encourage collaboration among these professionals, who, lacking established methods or tools, have struggled to implement a comprehensive health promotion program. After gathering feedback from the professionals, four training sessions were held in 2014, reaching thirty-one of them. The inter-facility meetings and the breaking down of silos were widely praised.
