Self-injury is intentionally hurting the body (e.g. cutting, burning) without suicidal intent. It often looks like a suicidal gesture and evokes fear and confusion. Its very nature seems to defy deep instinctual human drives for self-preservation as well strong social taboos related to self-inflicted injury. Join Dr. Whitlock for a high-level overview of NSSI epidemiology, function, and relationship to suicide. We’ll also talk about common treatment approaches and the vital role of schools and parents in detecting and supporting the healing process.
By the conclusion of this event, participants will be able to:
1. Identify key features of self-injury epidemiology and function.
2. Understand core principles in effective self-injury detection and intervention.
3. Understand the role of families and schools in NSSI intervention.
