Employers give greater consideration to employees who take on home study courses, on the basis that anyone giving up part of their spare time to study at home shows leadership qualities. Napoleon Hill

One delegate on The Psychology of Self Harm & Behaviour Course over the last couple days has seen self harm triple amongst young people at your workplace in the last few years. This also includes an increase in young men exhibiting self harm behaviour

The most important thing is that they have left the course with a range of tools and solutions to solve their own situations and most importantly, to be able to assist young people more effectively

 

 

What support are you getting from your workplace/employer? Some delegates have shared that they have work overload with dealing with young people self harming but no one else at their workplace knows what they are doing! Very scary!?

 

 

One thing that is even more apparent from running The Psychology of Self Harm & Behaviour Courses is that agencies who are supposed to be working together for the benefit of the young person, are not always ‘working’ together and not communicating as effectively as they could and so unfortunately the young person is left to struggle by themselves to deal with their self harming or other challenges that they might be dealing with.

 

 

Had my second day of The Psychology of Self Harm & Behaviour Course. Another successful course for delegates

Have you considered what would cause someone to accuse an adult of ‘False Memory Syndrome’ if and when they revealed memories of child abuse? Is it any wonder why some of them now wear self harm bracelets or self injury bracelets?

 

 

Have you considered what would cause someone to contemplate suicide and self harm? Some people may think programs for troubled teens self harm, self harm awareness is for everyone. Of 142,000 hospital admittances for self harm, only 19,000 were teens and young people.  Celebrities who self harm do not help the situation

 

 

‘A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.’ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

 

‘I think adults who self-injure need to be acknowledged. Focusing on teens takes away the importance of self-injury in older adults.’ Flut

 

 

The fabulous ‘two’s’! let’s change our mindsets and expressions about two year olds. Imagine if an adult had an accident which meant that they had to re-learn how to talk and express themselves. You can imagine, can’t you, that they would be elements of frustration on their journey of recovery. What stops us then giving this same level of understanding to a two year old who is learning a range of new things every single day and struggles to communicate their wishes, wants, needs and desires?

It’s our lack of understanding and acceptance of their challenges at this frustrating time that drives them ‘express their frustrations usually through tantrums and the excessive use of the word ‘NO’

Some teenagers pressures: peer pressure and acceptance; strive for independence; sexual expressions and when; sexuality
