What this Trial Is About
The goal of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the - specifically to the prison context adapted - World Health Organization's Problem Management Plus (PM+) intervention for individuals detained in Dutch remand prisons. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * To what extent is the contextually adapted PM+ intervention feasible and acceptable for individuals detained in Dutch remand prisons? * To what extent are there preliminary indications of pre to post-effects of the PM+ intervention on, for example, anxiety and depression symptoms? Researchers will compare two groups to answer these questions. Participants will either receive the PM+ intervention and Care-as-Usual or only Care-as-Usual.
