Self-Harm Awareness Training
Self-Harm Network Scotland is passionate about raising awareness and reducing stigma around self-harm. Our aim is to develop and deliver informative and accessible training and resources to help improve understanding of self-harm. We have developed a number of different training opportunities that will enable you to choose the best option for you, your organisation and your training needs. You’ll notice that most of our sessions have a max capacity for attendees. However, we are happy to deliver multiple sessions in your workplace if required. Best of all, all of our training is fully funded by the Scottish Government, making it free to access for individuals and organisations.
