Self Harm

Please note that, due to our funding, our workshops are only open to parents/carers who live or work in South Gloucestershire (or who have a child at school in South Glos).

This session will NOT be recorded and is a camera ON event due to the sensitive nature of the subject. To keep this session a safe space for families to ask questions this workshop is for parent carers only.

Satveer Nijaar, from 'Attention Seekers?', leads this self-harm awareness session for parents, taking into account the parental perspective and the emotions that can arise.

The session covers:

• Statistics
• Definition – what is self-harm?
• Triggers – what can lead to self-harm?
• Functions – what are the functions of the behaviour to the individual
• How to broach suspected self-harm – transferable tips and tools
• Best practice response to a disclosure including language use – what to say/not to say
• Alternative strategies/focusing upon stopping self-harm
