This Introduction to Self-Harm workshop provides clear, evidence-based information on what self-harm is, why it may occur, and how to offer compassionate, practical support. The session will explore the causes, motivations, and functions of self-harm, as well as resources and services available for those affected.

The workshop will be facilitated live via Microsoft Teams and includes a 10-minute refreshment break. Slides will be presented, and supporting materials will be emailed after the session. For safety reasons, participants must keep cameras switched on for the duration.

This training is suitable for anyone over 18 – including parents, carers, community members, and professionals – who wish to better understand and respond to self-harm.
