"​Really good session, informal and comfortable, plenty of opportunity to ask questions, staff and volunteers very open and approachable"
Certificates of attendance are issued. Our training is not CPD accredited because it's too specialised, bespoke and unique. This training is not about ticking a box, it's about developing the right tools to support someone who self-harms.

Battle Scars founder and CEO, Jenny Groves, delivers all the self-harm training
​"Jenny was fantastic and very inspiring. She was happy to answer any questions we had and I feel more able and prepared to support clients who self-harm now, where previously I had felt a little out of my depth. Thank you Jenny for sharing your story with us"

​"This has been a fantastic and insightful session with one of the most knowledgeable trainers I've met"
