When Someone You Love Self-Harms
This one-hour workshop is for parents, coaches, pastors and teachers.
As a parent, it can be frustrating and emotionally difficult to see your loved one in pain. It’s scary to see the burns, bruises and scars. It’s also confusing to discover that these actions were self-inflicted. You feel desperate, helpless and alone.
It’s normal to think…
“Does she just want attention?”
“Is she doing this to spite me?”
“Is this a teen trend that he’s picking up?”
“Doesn’t it hurt? Why won’t she just stop?”
“You mean it’s not the first time? How long has this been going on?”
As a concerned adult in the life of a child, teenager or young adult who is actively cutting, you may have many questions about how to help, support and encourage the person to stop such destructive behaviors.
Talk to us about hosting this valuable workshop for your group and invite the families in your community to learn practical tools about how to help children, teens and young adults overcome self-injury.
