Staffordshire Educational Psychology Service have worked in partnership with the Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust to create four parental workshops that will be running across Staffordshire.
These informal workshops will create a safe-space for parents to discuss self-harm.
There will be a presentation that will focus on understanding why children self-harm and how adults can support them.
The times / locations of the sessions can be seen here.
Stacey Walsh, Assistant Headteacher, said: “Self-harm is a complex issue which can be difficult for any parent to take on board, let alone understand and respond to. This free workshop offers professional advice and support so any parents dealing with a child who self-harms should look to go along.”
