Self harm

The Student Wellbeing Service can offer a range of support to students who are self harming.

We work collaboratively with students who self harm in a manner which is safe, non judgemental and allows you to remain in control of your own decisions.

We will support students who self harm to

  • Identify the function(s) of their self harm
  • Identify the positive and negative impacts of their self harm
  • Set their own goals for change where appropriate and desired
  • Identify the support that they need
  • Identify risks and strategies to reduce risk

We will also provide advice, information and guidance, counselling, first aid, dressings, nursing intervention and or access to appropriate external services.
