Understanding and
Responding to Self-Injury: A
Harm-Reduction Approach
This eight-week certified and IASW accredited
training course is based on a holistic and
harm-reduction approach to self-injury and is
the first of its kind to be run in Ireland.
The course provides an in-depth programme
and draws on the latest research and
developments in the field. It takes a broad,
holistic and critical view, enabling participants to
understand and apply best-practice responses
suited to their particular setting and to work
intensively on knowledge, skills, practice and
policy development for their field. The course is
based on a group learning and participant-
centred approach and participants leave the
course highly resourced in terms of their own
practice and also as leaders and developers of
innovative responses in their field.
The course includes modules on:
• Self-injury: definitions, problems, positions
• Embodiment, well-being and the functions of
self-injury
• An in-depth, life-course approach to
self-injury
• Active listening and facilitating recovery
• Critical mental health
