‘Life after Prison – Marc Conway talks about AMICABLE

This is an interview Marc Conway and the Prison Radio Association with a reflection on the impact of training and volunteering as a Problem Support Mentor whilst in prison.

This training is part of a 3-year Research Project lead by York and Leeds Universities in 6 prisons www://York.ac.uk . Volunteers learn a structured approach to problem solving they use to support and peers and themselves.

Marc reflects in how this has been useful for him specifically at 46.07.

Community VISION are one of 4 VCS partners who deliver the Giving Time element of the research. Giving Time involves working with people in prison and  then supporting men and women through the prison gate,  into a quality volunteer role.
