DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for clinicians seeking to expand their skills in the treatment of youth who engage in self-harm. Self-harm (also called self-injury and non-suicidal self-injury) is intentionally harming one’s body without suicidal intent (Nock & Favazza, 2009). In this training, empirical data regarding the prevalence, nature, and function of self-harm will be explored within the context of current socio-cultural factors. Assessing risk among youth who engage in self-harm will be explored, as it requires a nuanced understanding of self-harm, suicidality, and the interaction of both (Whitlock et al., 2015). Ways to involve and support caregivers of youth who engage in self-harm will be discussed. Finally, evidence-based strategies, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999), emotion regulation group therapy (ERGT; Gratz, 2009), and motivational interviewing (MI; Whitlock & Purington, 2013) approaches to address self-harm will be explored.
