Support for professionals

No matter your sector or role — NHS, social services, DWP, education (schools, colleges, universities), charities, or private companies — you are likely to come into contact with people who self-harm. You might support them directly as a health or mental health professional, social worker, support worker, job coach, safeguarding lead, teacher, or mental health first aider. Or you may simply find yourself in a position to offer support. 
​We provide training and a range of services to help you in your role.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for or would like to discuss your needs, please get in touch.
"I am a Clinical Psychologist working at the local Burns Centre. I found out about Battle Scars from a patient I saw. I recently attended a Battle Scars meeting [peer support group] and was really impressed by the set-up"
