SMHI Webinar: The Cutting Edge: Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Community Youth Populations, Part Two

Description

Presented by Dr. Janis Whitlock, The Cutting Edge: Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Community Youth Populations, Part Two. 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. This webinar is part 2 of a series and will focus on effective detection and intervention approaches in institutional settings and best practices for early intervention and prevention using up to date science and practice strategies.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the NSSI recovery process and contextual contributors to cessation.

  2. Understand core principles and practices in effective self-injury detection and intervention.

  3. Discuss implications of the above for development of protocols and intervention strategies.
