Consider what self-harm is, and to explore the underlying reasons why someone might use self-harm to cope.

Reflect on feelings and issues evoked for supporters of people who self-harm

Learn about what people who self-harm say helps them, and consider how to apply this in your setting/situation

Designed specifically in response to the challenges of COVID-19, these workshops offer an opportunity for continuing professional development in accessible, 2-hour bite sized chunks. Numbers of participants are kept low, to ensure maximum opportunities for you to participate and ask questions. Each workshop costs £40 and comes with a resource of handouts and signposting information to complement your learning.
