Self-harm and suicidality can be an emotive and troubling behaviour for professionals and carers to manage and respond to. It is though a common presentation for many traumatised, hard to reach and marginalised young people. The course explores, the emotional field for those working with young people who self-harm, common self-harming behaviours, prevalence, risk factors, reasons for self-harming, links to suicidality, the cycle of self-harm and how best to intervene. Like all Orb8 training it is based within an understanding of neurodevelopment and trauma and how this can inform our thinking and work in this area. If you would like to discuss any of our trainings including those on self-harm and suicidality please contact our Director Dr Jane Herd jane@orb8.org
