Caring for young people who self-harm
CARING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO SELF-HARM
Date: Tuesday 25 February
Time: 7.00pm – 9.00 pm
Location: Online via zoom
In this 2-hour workshop, Garry King will address the topic of "Self-Harm - Non-Suicidal Self-Injury".
Garry will explore what self-harm is, why it happens, and what you as a carer can do.
The workshop, like the one presented by Garry last year, will include:
- who is most at risk
- specific strategies to reduce and prevent self-harm
- protective factors
- risk factors
- what to say, what to do, who to link with and when
- what to look for / signs of self-harm
The Presenter Garry King has extensive experience working with young people, as a teacher, youth worker and counsellor. This experience is complimented by degrees in welfare, education, counselling and suicidology. His most recent book, authored with Mary Margaret Kerr, is “School Crisis Prevention & Intervention.”
Children and young people should not be present during this presentation nor have access to the notes.
The session is designed for kinship, foster and permanent carers.
