Understanding Self-Harm training course

This Nurturing Mental Health: Understanding Self-Harm course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of self-harm and suicide, recognising their emotive and sensitive nature. As more research has been conducted in recent years into incidents and causes of these behaviours, there's an increasing openness to discuss them, which is a positive step forward. However, despite this progress, stigmas still exist around individuals with mental health needs, and myths persist regarding the reasons behind self-harm and suicide.

The course aims to address these misconceptions by delving into the complexities surrounding self-harm and suicide. It acknowledges the enduring impact these actions have on individuals who self-harm, as well as their families, and underscores the immense ripple effect that suicide can have on loved ones and those working within mental health support systems. Through education and understanding, this course seeks to promote empathy, reduce stigma, and provide effective support for those affected by self-harm and suicidal ideation.
