In the workshop we considered, What can you do?
Take a moment to listen to the experience of self-harm.
Don’t talk young people out of their feelings; try to validate the young person’s feelings.
Show the young person that it is possible to sit with difficult feelings: if you react too quickly you mirror the young person reacting to distress with self-harm.
