WORKING WITH SELF-HARM AND SUICIDALITY 

INTRODUCTION TO ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH

This training aims to give an overview of OTR's understanding of adolescent mental health, and a grounding for other, more specialised, areas of training. It contains some activities about the variety of pressures and challenges that young people face, some information about common presentations of poor mental health and how to identify them, a way to theorise what influences an individual's mental health (the biopsychosocial model), and some introductory information about working with self-harm and suicide.

CBT: Tools, Tips and Techniques

An introduction to using the CBT model when working to support young people with their mental health. It provides a grounding in CBT theory and a few practical activities that professionals can use in their practice. NB: This is an introductory training on some basic CBT-style techniques, rather than a training that licenses people to deliver CBT therapy. Included in the training will be a section about the safe use of techniques and limits of competence.
