Adolescents and Self-Harm

This 3-hour introductory workshop will cover the often misunderstood topic of Adolescents and Self-Harm.  When an adolescent engages in cutting, burning, or other intentional self-harming behaviors, parents and clinicians often panic.  Adolescents who self-injure are frequently misdiagnosed as suicidal and treated with ineffective approaches that often include unnecessary hospitalization.  These misguided strategies often serve to only increase stress, isolation, and the desire to self-harm.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • The Self-Injury Umbrella:  The crucial differences between suicidality and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)
  • Types of self-Harm
  • Reasons Why Adolescents Self-Harm
  • Conceptualization, assessment, and treatment options for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). 
  • How to build a multi-systemic approach for helping suicidal and self-harming children and adolescents.
