What does this course cover?
This course is designed to give an insight into clients suffering from suicidal ideation, or who may have problems with self-injury. Bear in mind that these are symptoms of underlying problems, and so it is the person and not the self-harm that should be focussed on. Course features include identifying risk factors, vulnerable groups, alternatives to self-harm, helpful & unhelpful responses and characteristics of suicidal people.
