  • Understand common myths surrounding self harm, as well as issues regarding stigma
  • Understand and appreciate the perspective of other professionals, parents and young people

  • Apply and manage risk, understand the concept of harm minimisation, and be better able to explore alternatives to self harm within the context of your role
  • Apply proven strategies aimed at developing the resilience of those vulnerable to self harm
  • Develop a self harm policy tailored to your needs, designed to provide clear information and guidance
