About this session
Why do self-injury and self-harm occur?
Why do some Autistic people engage in these behaviours?
How do they differ from each other?
What can you do to help them?
In this session we will explore these questions with a view to gaining a better understanding of the likely triggers, the behaviours and why this sometimes happens.
We will also explore the most effective approaches to help children and young people who display self-harming and/or self-injurious behaviours.
We will also signpost you to further helpful and relevant information.
