Managing Youth Suicide and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury

This workshop will provide information about youth suicide, suicide attempt behaviours and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). Participants will develop an understanding, skills and the confidence to recognise, assess and respond to young people at risk of suicide and those who engage in self-injury.
