The term ‘non-suicidal self-injury’ (NSSI) describes a behaviour where a person deliberately or purposefully hurts themselves.
It is used to refer to self-injury that is not intended to result in death.

When we use the term ‘self-injury’ we are specifically excluding painful or damaging behaviours that are socially accepted or ‘sanctioned’ such as tattooing, piercing or other forms of body art, and cultural practices involving injury.

This course gives participants an opportunity to learn how to help someone who is engaging in self-injury. This is an education course, to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.

This course is open to any TAFE or University student, and anyone in their first year of their career in the education, justice, health care or community services sectors.

PLEASE NOTE - minimum 15 tickets need to be sold for the course to go ahead. If we don't meet that number, full refunds will be given.
