Community Care runs a series of to equip social care professionals with the knowledge they need in key areas of practice.

Working with young people who self-harm

Tuesday 6 May, 11.30 am – 12.30pm

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.
