Training

Self Injury Support has been working within self-injury and related fields for almost 30 years and has a range of training courses that reflect this wealth of expertise.

We focus on compassionate approaches for people being supported and those doing the support, exploring the place of self injury in individuals' lives and working with all the emotional joys and challenges this brings.

“Thank you for the training you gave us. I have been inundated with positive feedback. Everyone found it useful and you made the whole experience very calm. It enabled us to look at a difficult subject in a positive way.” Oxford College Nurses

We train participants from all backgrounds and disciplines and we look forward to welcoming you on one of our training courses very soon. Book now via the listings below to join us for reflective, thought-provoking and hugely informative sessions on a range of topics.
