Raising Awareness for Children’s Mental Health
Self-harm has become a way for many young people to manage their distress but is an area that often carries a lot stigma. It’s not as uncommon as you might think, 24% of 17 year olds said that they had self-harmed, so it’s something which many of us will experience at some point.
As a parent, finding out that your child is self-harming is often distressing and overwhelming, you may not know where to turn or what to do next. That’s where we can help…
We have two sessions coming up to support Parent Carers navigating these conversations with their children.
Don’t be be scared to talk about the subject. Even if your child is not self-harming, it is important to have conversations about mental ill health and let them know where they can go for support.
