Objectives of <\/b>Part B: NSSI Recovery Trajectories, Treatment & Caregiver Engagement & Support<\/b><\/span><\/strong>

\n\u2022 Understand core principles and practices in effective self-injury intervention and treatment

Description:
\n<\/b>Self-injury in youth is intentionally hurting the body (e.g. cutting, burning etc.) but without <\/em>suicidal intent. Because it often looks like a suicidal gesture it tends to evoke fear and confusion.\u00a0Its very nature seems to defy deep instinctual human drives for self-preservation as well strong social taboos related to self-inflicted injury. Much has been learned in the past decade and a half about what it is, why it “works” for the person, and its relationship to suicide and other mental health challenges. This interactive<\/em> presentation will review NSSI taxonomy, epidemiology, function and relationship to suicide. It will conclude with implications for intervention and treatment. In the second part of this presentation, we will review what is known about NSSI recovery and effective treatment approaches. We will also review impact on caregivers and best practices for supporting caregivers of youth who self-injure. This interactive presentation will conclude with tips and techniques, discussion and resources.<\/p>\n
