Self-harm is often portrayed as a modern phenomenon, but it's actually been with us for a long time - what is new is the stigma and shame. In this blog I explore the history and what we can learn from it:

I'm interested in what other people think about the value and impact of 'awareness' training around self-harm.
Is a one-off training session enough?
How easy is it to embed learning from a one day session?
