When self injury happens…

The Mental Health First Aid Conversations About Non-Suicidal Self-Injury course will teach you how to identify, approach and support someone who is engaging in self-injury by using a practical, evidence based Action Plan.

You will also have the opportunity to practise your new skills in a safe environment. The term ‘non-suicidal selfinjury’ (NSSI) describes a behaviour where a person deliberately or purposefully hurts themselves. It is used to refer to self-injury that is not intended to result in death.

This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.

Duration: a 4hr workshop

Cost: $130 per person

  • Why people engage in self-injury
