Self-CareThe topics raised in the training delivery can be emotionally evocative. It is strongly advised that delegates should be aware of the personal impact that training in self harm awareness can have and should seek the appropriate reassurance, support and guidance from the Trainer delivering the session if they become distressed or affected by any of the topics raised. As an organisation, we encourage that all delegates practice self-care during their time on the course, ensuring they take adequate breaks and manage their own self-disclosure.
