About the webinar:

In this session, you will gain a greater understanding of self-harm and how this affects young people. We will discuss why young people may self-harm including triggers and functions, as well as myths about self-harm and how to improve our language when working with young people. This webinar will also provide practical, transferable responses for practitioners, including language use, to enable them to better support someone who self-harms. The overall aim of the session is to reduce stigma and build knowledge and confidence to help you better support young people.

Speaker:

The training aims to provide knowledge and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and self-harm.

Satveer began her career with the Royal College of Psychiatrists on a national steering group and later earned a First-Class Psychology degree, receiving the Bernice McAuley Memorial Prize for her research on cultural influences on self-harm. In 2024 alone, her training reached over 25,000 people. She has worked with NHS trusts, police forces, schools, and national/international organisations.
