This flexible training pack provides trainers with all the resources required to train staff with very different levels of knowledge, skills and experience of working with self-harm. It can be used as a basic introduction for people who may not have professional mental health training and who are working with clients who self-harm. It can also be used to reinforce good practice and develop specific skills with staff who have relevant professional qualifications and experience or training in this area. "Managing Self-harm" focuses on helping those individuals whose self-harming behaviour is a repeated act carried out primarily as a way out of an unbearable emotional state, rather than those individuals who repeatedly take overdoses or self-harm seriously in response to chronic suicidal ideation or urges, or those for whom self-harm has been a one-off attempt to end their life or to bring some crisis to attention.
