About the Course
Self-injury is a conundrum. In many ways, it is separate and distinct from suicide and should be managed as such. Yet self-injury is also an important risk factor for suicide attempts. Many adolescents utilised NSSI to express their emotional experience and to regulate their emotions. Let us equip ourselves with the right research-based knowledge and techniques to listen to our clients as well as assist them to find helpful ways to cope without hurting themselves.
