Description

Does SELF-HARM have a PURPOSE?

Often people find it difficult to talk about self-harm. This course offers opportunity to safely share different perspectives, and explore use of language, stereotypes and helpful and unhelpful experiences.

This course will explore facts, myths and meanings of self-harm from a range of lived and professional experiences to encourage a broader and deeper knowledge of self-harm and healthier alternatives.

Through the voices of lived and professional experience in relation to self-harm, this course will open up a space to explore tools, techniques and strategies for treating, managing or supporting the experience of self-harm.
