Overview
There has been an increase in deliberate self- harm in the last two decades. Self-harm is a complex and often alarming issue for the parents and carers of the young person. It is often misunderstood and raises many questions. While professionals support the young person involved they often also need to support their families and friends.

This presentation will demystify deliberate self-harm by providing an overview of the following areas:

- Definition of deliberate self-harm

- Latest research on deliberate self-harm

- How common is it?

- Types of deliberate self-harm

- The differences between suicide and

- self-harming behaviours

- Why do young people self-harm?

- Common risk factors

- The psychological and physical signs of self-harming behaviour

- How to respond to deliberate self-harm

- Alternatives to self-harm

- What if the young person doesn’t want to stop self-harming?

- When the young person doesn’t feel like self-harming

Target Audience
Teachers, clinicians, case workers and others who work with young people.
