Event Information
About this event
Self Harm Learning Network for Primary Schools in West Sussex, East Sussex and Brighton and Hove
Never been to a virtual learning event? It is like an on-line workshop where you can see the trainer, other attendees, you can type questions, draw on whiteboards, meet with others in break out rooms and see a whole host of visual and written resources. You can also simply watch and learn if that’s your preference.
About the course
Join us and other education professionals across your area in a learning network to support young people and children who self-harm. Facilitated by West Sussex Mind, YMCA Downslink Group and supported by Allsorts Youth Project, this new initiative is to help you help children and young people who are self-harming.
Network with other professionals to hear what is working for them, discuss your support needs, hear from guest speakers and get updates on the latest initiatives, research, resources and policies. You will be able to improve your understanding and skills to prevent and respond to self-harm, increase your confidence in having conversations with pupils, parents and carers, and understand when and where to refer pupils. This is especially important here in Sussex as it has a higher than the national average of cases that result in a hospital admission.
If you are not able to attend on the day, part of the network event will be recorded and made available afterwards, so register your interest now to ensure that you receive the link.
Who should attend? All school staff supporting young people including Teaching Assistants, Mental Health Leads, SENCOs, counsellors and School Nurses.
