Description

Do you think there should be more spaces to have compassionate conversations about self-harm?
Would you value hearing about what self-harm means to a variety of different people?
Have you ever wanted to explore how people manage self-harm, or support someone experiencing self-harm?
This course creates a space to openly discuss and unpack experiences around self-harm in a non-judgemental and safe environment.

Through compassionate and honest conversations, we’ll work towards a deeper understanding of each person’s unique experiences of self-harm. Together, we’ll aim to overcome the common fears and misconceptions that can often prevent such discussions from happening.

Through this course students will:
• create a safe place to share and understand different perspectives about self-harm
• consider different experiences of self-harm
• explore language, assumptions and behaviours about self-harm
• explore different facts and myths about self-harm
• consider a range of different supports and tools in relation to self-harm
• recognise ways to create open, comfortable and safe communication around self-harm
