Self-harm is a common coping strategy utilised by children and young people. The aim of this training session is to understand its impact, challenge myths and learn the facts, consider the systemic harm faced by children and young people and their families, and develop some approaches to support young people who are experiencing self-harm.

Please note: cameras must be switched ON for all participants.
