We offer honest, in depth and "real" training that makes an impact. 
​
Training objectives:
To provide deep insights into self-harm resulting in better understanding and becoming better equipped to support someone who self-harms. ​

"It was massively refreshing to hear open and honest information about self-harm after years of hearing the same old rubbish. Thank you so much"
​"Very informative and sensibly handled"
"​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.
