People who self-harm say that what they find most helpful is understanding, acceptance, support and someone to listen to them who will not judge them or tell them to stop.
Some service users talk about their self-harm, whilst others require help with the more practical aspects of self-harm and the issues surrounding their reasons for self-harming.
TRCC does not provide training on how to stop someone from self-harming but aims to enable workers to explore the issues it brings up for them and to empower workers to feel more confident and to understand the reasons and messages behind self-harm.
Objectives
Develop an understanding of self harm and why it occurs
Increase knowledge of how people self harm
Explore our own reactions to self harm
Explore society’s attitudes to self harm and the impact these have on individuals
