Presented by Dr. Janis Whitlock, Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Community Youth Populations, Part One. Self-injury is intentionally hurting the body (e.g. cutting, burning etc..) but without suicidal intent. Because it often looks like a suicidal gesture it tends to evoke fear and confusion. Why would someone choose to cut up or otherwise hurt his/her body in a way that looks like a suicide attempt but then insist that it actually has nothing to do with suicide at all? In addition to covering self-injury basics, this workshop will address effective detection and intervention approaches in institutional settings and best practices for early intervention and prevention using up to date science and practice strategies.
