Suicide & Self Harm Awareness in Education
While suicide is a way of ending life, for some self-harm is a way of coping with life.
Self-harm encompasses a wide range of behaviours where a young person intentionally causes physical harm to themselves. The reasons behind self-harm can differ for each individual, and young people may not always fully understand why they engage in these behaviours.
Understanding self-harm and suicide is essential for creating a safe, supportive, and proactive school environment. As school staff, you play a crucial role in identifying early warning signs, offering compassionate support, and ensuring that students receive the help they need. This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to reduce stigma, promote mental well-being and foster open conversations.
