Organisation: International Futures Forum
Funding: £30,480
A Scottish-based international research organisation has designed a 'Human Resource Kit', which includes materials that individuals can use to support their own mental well-being.
It is being trialled with prisoners at a women's prison in Scotland, where it enhances existing psychological services, giving prisoners the skills to become peer tutors for other prisoners.
The organisation will use NESTA's funding to modify the kit, based on current feedback, and to create versions suitable for people with low literacy/no English, and for children. The plan is to set up a social enterprise and to produce 20 prototype kits for trial marketing.
