Self-harm training Level 2 (3)

This training has been developed utilising professional experience gathered from the delivery and management of services for people who self-harm. People with lived experience have had an input in the preparation of the materials and are an integral part in the delivery of the training. This workshop is unique in the sense that brings academic, professional, and personal experience and knowledge together to offer you a whole perspective on this complex issue.

Furthermore, we strive to keep up with current research and practice based evidence, including NICE Guidelines Self-harm: Longer Term Management (2011).

You will have opportunities to discuss cases that you have been involved with. It will give you the chance to ask questions, bounce ideas and learn new skills and knowledge. You will discuss best practice in a safe, non-judgemental environment with a very small group to ensure safety and comfort.
