Aim 1 To provide opportunities for all of us to think about our attitudes about self-harm Aim 2 To increase our understanding about why children and young people self-harm Aim 3 To seek out ways to tackle the stigma commonly associated with expressions of mental distress Aim 4 To ensure the involvement of young people who self-harm in the design, implementation and evaluation of local self-harm protocols It does not seek to be a ‘one fit all’ solution, but it is hoped that this manual will support the provision of co-ordinated, consistent and respectful services to address the mental health needs of children and young people who self-harm.
