About the training
‘Families Learning About Self-Harm’
FLASH is a ten-week parent group programme for parents of a young person who is exhibiting self-harming behaviour and this behaviour is having an impact on the whole family. This multi-agency training course aims to give professionals, in detail, the values and key principles and delivery content of the programme.
The FLASH programme also has new protocols for delivering the programme online.
ALL attendees on this training must be working or anticipate working with a family/families where self-harm is present.
This will enable course participants to:
- Have a wider knowledge, awareness and understanding of self-harm behaviours in young people.
- Understand the basic approaches for implementing a FLASH parenting group programme.
- Provide practical strategies for parents.
