Overview

This webinar will look at understanding the nature of self-harm and what recent, and current research development tells us.

Self-harm has been highlighted as a major public health concern, both nationally and internationally. Although hard to measure, the number of young people with non-fatal intentional self-harm injuries who are presenting at hospitals continues to rise. Research has identified self-harmful thoughts and behaviours as both multidimensional and complex in nature.
