Responding to Self-Harm in Primary Schools
About
Inner East SSS, Be You and Austin CYMHS are collaborating to deliver a seminar on Responding to Self-Harm in Primary Schools.The mental health concerns of younger students continue to become more complex, leaving primary schools to respond to risk more frequently.
As part of the session, our expert facilitators from Be You will:
Share understandings of self-harm in the primary school context
· Discuss student self-regulation (including the 'Window of Tolerance')
· Discuss and build understanding of the NIP framework (Notice, Inquire, Provide) for upskilling school staff in their role in supporting students who self-harm
· Identify mental health services that can assist
· Discuss how school leadership and wellbeing teams can increase effective collaboration with external mental health service providers
· Discuss the importance of educator wellbeing in the context of student self-harm
In addition to our BeYou facilitators, Inner East SSS, will speak about the Department of Education’s critical incident process following incidents of self-harm or suicidal ideation. Austin ICYMHS (Community Engagement and Partnerships Team), will speak about the services that Austin ICYMHS provides and how best to access them.
This seminar is an opportunity for schools to begin developing a response to self-harm or to review and update an existing plan your school has in place to address self-harm and the supports available to students and schools
