"Excellent training session. Really valuable that it is delivered by someone with lived experience - makes the session much more real and believable"

"Very open discussion. Increased confidence on where to signpost if someone is asking for longer term support with self-harm. I felt engaged throughout the session"
​The aim of our training is to provide delegates with insights and knowledge to increase their confidence in dealing with people who self-harm or have an eating disorder as well as provide the setting to ask the questions they don’t often have a chance to ask.
