Self-harm in adolescents
There is growing concern about the observed increase in self-harm among adolescents. The rise in non-suicidal self-injury (NSI) reflects the accumulated distress experienced by children and young people over the past two years, although this behavior was first observed 8-10 years ago. Another worrying aspect is that this behavior is starting at increasingly younger ages. In this session, we hope to answer all your questions and provide tools to understand the origins of this behavior, how to recognize it, how to react, and how to seek help, as well as how to manage these cases in the classroom.
