What can you do?

In the workshop we considered, What can you do?

Consider how YOU respond to mental distress –
What are your negative coping strategies?
Does this help you create empathy with young people?

Talk to young people about different negative coping strategies more broadly. This welcomes more young people into the conversation and destigmatises self-harm.

Drag these sticky notes to the column that best describes your response:

I'M NOT YET CONFIDENT TO DO THIS

I'M CONFIDENT I COULD DO THIS

Listen

Ask if they're ok
