Some children and adults with severe learning disabilities typically display behaviour which may put themselves or others at risk, or which may prevent the use of ordinary community facilities or a normal home life. This behaviour may be in the form of aggression, self injury, stereotyped behaviour or disruptive and destructive behaviours. These behaviours are not under the control of the individual concerned and are largely due to the individual’s lack of ability to communicate.

This training DVD explores new ways of working with people who self harm and to raise awareness of the issues. Self harm is frequently used as a survival strategy; a way for service users and survivors to communicate something about the grinding realities in which they live their lives. However it is often treated with fear, annoyance and, at times, even outright hostility. The material is aimed at professionals but is also intended to be accessible to service users. Included are: testimonies from those who self harm and from those who encounter it in health care settings; a focus on the importance of understanding and response to self harm for the delivery of helpful and supportive service; an in-depth look at the need for, and use of, harm minimisation strategies within a range of health care settings; interviews with a range of key figures within the field; and a comprehensive supporting information pack.
