A one day theatre centred training event

The programme focuses on:

… why self harm is a coping mechanism and not a mental illness

… the support mechanisms available to young people who self harm

… understanding and working with young people who self harm

… the problems for young people who have a family member who self harms

… the fears for professionals working with young people who self harm

… whether there is relationship between self harm and suicide

… the secrecy of self harming behaviours

… why asking for help may be difficult for people who self harm

 

 

The one day event centres around a theatrical performance to enable participants to understand the emotional problems for the characters.

The day includes workshops for course participants to share ideas and help the characters to work with their self harming behaviours.
