Webinar Description

Webinar Theme:
Non Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI), is a substantial concern for boarding staff, with a significant number of young people in our boarding houses likely to be impacted directly or indirectly by it. Research indicates that most education staff will work with a student who is engaging in NSSI at some point in time and that many staff members do not feel adequately informed or skilled to respond appropriately.
This webinar aims to develop confidence around this issue and to help boarding schools begin to develop strategies and policies to support and protect students.
  •  Understand the nature of NNSI - its function and risk factors
  •  Implications for boarding schools
  •  Explore strategies to support students
  •  Recommendations for policies and procedures
