SELF-HARM TRAINING
The Self-Harm Training workshop is a 1/2 day course intended
to teach participants about the issues surrounding self-harm
and help participants understand some of the reasons people
exhibit this behaviour. This workshop is for professionals
(teachers, educational assistants, social workers, child and
youth care staff, etc.) as well as individuals who are
interested in learning more about Self-Harm. The workshop
will help participants to enhance their ability to identify
the situation, report to the proper authorities and support
the individual until a trained professional can assess the
situation. The focus is to communicate with the person who
is Self-Harming and understand some of the reasons they may
be doing this.
Please note that the training is not intended to teach
anyone how to clinically assess risk in any situation. The
information provided is intended to provide background for
participants and is not a replacement for proper clinical
training. This training is also required for CAC
Accreditation but you are not required to take it through
CAC to meet the requirement.
