Event description
The session will aim to build a better understanding of what self-harm is, why people turn towards self-harm behaviours and what signs and indicators there are for self-harm behaviours.
The course will also help you to develop understanding around helping to support someone who is self-harming and best practice response.
The key aim is to build confidence, reduce stigma and create a better response to individuals who self-harm.
The trainer has requested that attendees have their cameras on during the session to ensure attendance and help with engagement.
The session will be interactive – with lots of opportunities for discussion.
