Self Injurious Behaviour evokes strong emotional responses to those working in the care and educational sectors.
Although self injury is often presented across a range of settings - young people with emotional and behavioural problems, young people in mainstream education, people with autistic spectrum disorders and adults and children in mental health settings; the manifestations and underpinning reasons can often be very different. Working with self injury from the wrong perspective can be very harmful to the person who self injures and can seriously impact on the way in which professionals exercise their duty of care. This one day conference provides up to date research and advice for carers, clinicians, counsellors, teachers, social workers, mental health professionals, and others likely to come into contact with those who self injure or are at risk of self injury.
Packed with the personal accounts and perspectives of those who self injure and of professionals who work with the many facets of self injury, this accessible course will be essential for those who work in this field.Presenters include:
David Walker - University of Bristol
Dr Andrew McDonnell - Consultant Clinical Psychologist
Stephen Lund - Therapeutic Child Care Consultant
Janet Hardman - Consultant Clinical Psychologist During the day, discussion will take place on:
Motivations to self injure
Categories of self harm
The importance of non-judgemental approaches
Self harm as a coping strategy
Safe self harm
Short term strategies that will work
Strategies that will not work
Case studies
The differences in cause and management between different client populations
Support for staff working with people who self harmSome facts and figures:
Rates of self-harm in the UK have increased over the past decade and are amongst the highest in Europe (National Institute for Clinical Excellence, 2002).
More than 24,000 teenagers are admitted to hospital in the UK each year after deliberately harming themselves. Most have taken overdoses or cut themselves. (Samaritans & Centre for Suicide, University of Oxford, 2002).
1 in 10 teenagers self-harm (Samaritans & Centre for Suicide, University of Oxford, 2002).
Government research published in 2001 suggests that as many as 215,000 11-15 year olds throughout UK may have harmed themselves (NCH & Centre for Social Justice, Coventry University, 2002).
Statistics on self-harm are unreliable however, because many incidents will be treated at home and will not reach the attention of services or professionals.
Rates of self-harm are much higher among groups with high levels of poverty and in adolescents and younger adults (National Institute for Clinical Excellence, 2002).
The average age for children starting to self-harm is 13. The earliest reported incident is however at the age of 7. (NCH& Centre for Social Justice, Coventry University, 2002).
Young women are reported to out number young men in the ratio of 7 to 1 (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2002). Outline for the day
