Prison psychological counselors walk into the judicial office to provide psychological counseling for community corrections personnel.

In order to give full play to the resources of prison education reform, help the judicial office to reduce the recidivism rate of community corrections personnel and effectively improve the effect of community corrections, Hefei Prison and Hefei Municipal Bureau of Justice have been actively exploring new ways of community corrections under the new situation, relying on the platform of "two-way contact work" since 2009. By introducing psychological correction as a scientific correction method, Hefei Prison sent professional psychological counselors to assist the judicial office in providing mental health counseling to community corrections personnel, encouraging correction objects to consciously adjust their psychological state and improve society. A few days ago, three national second-level psychological counselors organized by Hefei Prison were invited to the Wulidun Judicial Office in Hefei to hold a unique, lively and interesting group psychological counseling activity for all community corrections personnel in the Judicial Office.

Group psychological counseling is an important way to provide psychological help and guidance in group situations. Through interpersonal communication within the group, individuals are encouraged to know themselves, explore themselves, accept themselves, adjust and improve their relationships with others, learn new attitudes and behaviors, and form a good process of helping others to adapt to life through observation, learning and experience. On the same day, the group psychological counseling activities started with the warm-up game of "tearing paper by hand", and successively carried out a number of psychological games, such as "Tell me about it and pass it on", "Warm-up activities", "It's raining, I'm walking on the road" and "Five fingers crossing activities", which not only enabled community corrections personnel to share their experiences, realize their life, think about the relationship between emotional control and healthy life, but also made them truly feel the true meaning of communication and cooperation with others.

After nearly two hours of group psychological counseling activities, everyone is still reluctant to leave for a long time. When asked about his feelings about this psychological consultation, Zhang said, "Today's psychological consultation has benefited me a lot. In the future, I will face the future, face life with a positive attitude, abide by corrective discipline, and do more useful things for society. " Qi Molian, a prisoner in another community, said: "Three unexpected things. First, I didn't expect to participate in a vivid psychological counseling activity today; Second, I didn't expect the prison counselor to speak well, analyze correctly and learn a lot; Thirdly, I didn't expect that after psychological counseling, I felt really relaxed physically and mentally, and I felt that my life had a new goal. I hope to organize more similar activities in the future. "

The object of community correction is a special group and one of the high-risk groups of psychological crisis. The development of psychological counseling activities for correction objects indicates that Hefei Prison and Hefei Municipal Bureau of Justice, relying on the "two-way contact work" and using the educational reform resources of prisons, have explored humanized and scientific correction methods and means, and taken an important step in combining behavioral correction with psychological correction. It is also an important measure for Hefei Prison and Hefei Municipal Bureau of Justice to fully implement the "first standard", give full play to the therapeutic function and role of psychological correction, and effectively improve the quality of community correction.

It is understood that in the future, Hefei Prison will try its best to create conditions and make use of the rich resources of psychological counselors to help the judicial office to further carry out individual counseling or group counseling at different levels, such as mental health education, psychological testing, psychological counseling and psychological crisis intervention, so as to further promote the mental health of community corrections personnel and effectively improve the quality of community corrections.
