Conversations About Non-suicidual Self Injury
Learn how to assist someone who is engaging in self-injury.
The Mental Health First Aid Conversations About Non-Suicidal Self-Injury course will teach you how to identify, approach and support someone who is engaging in self-injury by using a practical, evidence based Action Plan. You will also have the opportunity to practise your new skills in a safe environment.

It is used to refer to self-injury that is not intended to result in death. This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
What you will learn?
- Why people engage in self-injury
