Self-Harm: Understanding and Supporting Students in Your School
What is Self-Harm?
Headteacher and Safeguarding Specialist, Jackie Shanks shares her expertise on Self-harm and what schools can do to support their students in this one-hour, on-demand webinar.
Self-harm is when a person intentionally harms or injures themselves. It often occurs as a way of expressing overwhelming feelings and emotions. Self-harm is often a confusing and bewildering act. It can challenge individuals, families and society to the core. We struggle to understand why people do this, why it is exponentially rising, and how we can stem this increase if possible.
