This is an introductory course for youth workers and volunteers who may not yet be working directly with service users that self-harm, but who want to have a basic understanding of how to respond and what support you can direct a person to. The session will help to build confidence to explore supportive conversations on self-harm.
Learning Outcomes:
- Introduce and develop your understanding of self-harm
- Gain access to resources to support those using self-harm as a coping strategy
- Information on skilled level training to support self-harm awareness and skills development
Duration: 2 hours
An additional full day skills training is available for those working specifically on a 1:1 basis or if self-harm is more prevalent within your service. For further information or to register your interest please contact our training team by email – training@youthscotland.org.uk
