Workshop Session
The Enneagram has been used as a (scientifically validated) personality typology tool with prison staff to promote self-awareness, communication, emotional and reactive management, all with the aim of increasing compliance with ethical expectations and interpersonal skills. The same enneagram tool has been offered to groups of inmates in prisons with the collaboration of the American EPP program (enneagram prison project) to promote the same objectives of self-awareness and emotional health in addition to addressing the issue of trauma and addictions. This use of the same self-awareness tool with staff and inmates leads to many opportunities to foster a more peaceful climate of dynamic security within the prison.
