This evening workshop is open to members who wish to come in a personal or professional capacity.  In 2014/15 there were 8,453 self-harm presentations to Emergency Departments (ED) in Northern Ireland and this does not reflect the total incidence of self harm.   This session seeks to enable people to understand self harm and provide support for young people who are at risk.  It will explore  - What is self harm? Why do young people self harm?  What can be done?  It will be delivered by Rosemary Risk, Lecturer in Occupational Therapy, Ulster University
