Self Harm

The experience of self harm can create a number of tensions in individuals who self harm and in those whom they have contact with.  “Cutting in” to the skin is one of many actions of self harm which may be used by individuals.

In this two day workshop participants will be given the opportunity to practice a number of interactive techniques that can be used to “cut through” to engage with individuals who self harm. Action methods will be used throughout the workshop to demonstrate the ways in which action does speak louder than words.

Feedback from prior participants:

• “some new ways to explain neurological responses to trauma – good diagram”

• “I will take with me new ideas and insights and ways of working with individuals and groups”

• “very good on interpersonal relations”

• “a wealth of info which was good also a sense of relief that as a worker you are not responsible for a persons change”

• “more than I had expected. My knowledge was more limited than I was aware”

• “I leave feeling more knowledgeable and confident about exploring self harm”
