A Short Introduction to Understanding and Supporting Children and Young People Who Self-Harm
Self-harm and suicidal behaviors are increasingly common in young people, but are often hidden. A Short Introduction to Helping Children and Young People Who Self-Harm aims to show parents, caregivers and professionals how they can support young people through these difficult times, as well as how to find specialist professional help. The author uses an easy-to-read, jargon free and positive approach to tackle the stigma attached to self-harm and suicidal behavior. This book combines case studies with professional advice to help the reader take the first steps towards helping the young person in need. It advises on how to distinguish between normal adolescent behavior and the signs of mental health problems, while showing how an adult can sensitively communicate with a teenager about the difficult subject.
