The sessions were facilitated by Mr. Joseph Wanjau, Counseling Psychologist and Dean of Students, Ms. Jacinta Kabucho, Senior Counselor, and Prof. Margaret Mwenje, Director of Community Outreach. Through interactive discussions, officers shared experiences and reflected on stress-related challenges common within the prison environment.
Participants appreciated the practical coping techniques shared during the workshop and noted improved awareness of stress management and personal well-being. The Officers in Charge of Nyeri Medium and Women’s Prisons commended Karatina University for its continued support in addressing mental health issues among prison officers, while feedback from Nyeri Maximum Prison highlighted positive changes in officers’ work commitment and interpersonal relations following earlier interventions.
