About this Learning Opportunity
In this presentation, April will review the signs and causes of self-harm in children. There will be a review of what educators can do to assist children who are struggling, including making the appropriate referral as needed. This session will not replace medical or professional advice, but will equip the educator with the knowledge to feel confident in how to approach a child in need.
