This course is specifically designed for individuals who work with young people. Through a comprehensive approach, it addresses the stereotypes, myths, and realities of self-harm based on the experiences of young people. Working with children and young people who display self-harming behaviour can be challenging. The primary objective of this course is to help learners understand the underlying causes of maladaptive behaviours such as eating disorders, substance misuse, and self-harm in young people.
Research studies have shown that our childhood experiences can significantly impact our lives. For example, a study conducted in California in the mid-90s found that individuals who had a stressful and unhappy childhood were more likely to develop self-destructive behaviours in the future. Furthermore, a follow-up study revealed that Adverse Childhood Experiences pose health risks and can lead to poor academic performance, anti-social behaviour, and substance abuse in children currently experiencing ACE.
In addition, this course provides comprehensive strategies for assessing and managing the risks of self-harm, as well as practical techniques for building Resilience. With this course, you will gain the confidence and knowledge to address and manage self-harm behaviours in young people effectively.
Learning Aims:

Hand-outs & Certificates: Downloadable course notes and certificates of attendance are provided.
This option is aimed at an audience with prior knowledge of the subject and isn’t suitable for. Those that are new to the subject would be better with our standard course.
We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
