Description:Self-injury can be a confusing behaviour, and really worrying when someone you know self-injures. In preparing this guide we consulted families, health care professionals, school staff and parents of young people who self-injure, as well as the young people themselves. This guide was developed to help school staff understand self-injury, and find some effective ways to intervene, whatever your role in the school. In the research guiding this book, alcohol abuse and anorexia nervosa are not usually included as forms of self-injury, although it can be argued they are indeed both forms of self-abuse. The focus of the research into self-injury is primarily on cutting, scratching, self-punching/hitting/slapping, hitting a part of the body on a hard surface, biting, burning, ingesting chemicals or substances or otherwise damaging the body to relieve bad feelings inside. The issue of ‘without suicidal intent’ is an important one. Ninety per cent of self-injurers do so to control overwhelming feelings. We acknowledge that occasionally a young person will state that they self-injure because they want to die – usually because many parts of their lives seem difficult or too hard to manage, and they are ‘at the end of their tether’. The focus of this booklet is really to help you manage the young people you are most commonly going to have to work with.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
