I often buy clothes and accessories spontaneously. This results in a wardrobe full of pieces that don’t pair with anything. “I have nothing to wear….” I hear you say. A handful of treasures just hanging in there before progressing into a charity giveaway bag. Not if you know your true colours that will elevate your look and mood as well as save money and the environment. Based on this colour analysis we can create a capsule wardrobe using your existing pieces and follow your colour chart to purchase matching items in future. Whatever fashion dictates, buying less and more consciously will reduce waste, save money and creates a wonderful wardrobe you can be proud of! The analysis is based on inherited tones as well as personality. Based on 4 seasons: spring and autumn being warm and summer and winter cool in the colour spectrum.

The aim of this live online training with Emily Gajewski, a highly experienced psychotherapist specialising in treating self-harm, is to give you a thorough, in-depth understanding of why young people self-harm and how to approach/react when helping someone in both the short and long term, including the essential skills most likely to effectively support the young person on their journey to find less harmful ways of coping – the webinar focuses on the most evidence-based knowledge and skills in this area. It will also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure that you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be. WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND With the ever changing, uncertain world we live in creating a vast amount of pressure on children – emotionally and physically – more children and teenagers are experiencing extremely stressful, distressing situations, with many looking for coping mechanisms to help them deal with their negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Self harm (including self injury) is hugely on the increase and rates are higher than ever since Covid-19 and the long periods of isolation and uncertainty young people have experienced in ‘lock downs’. A survey of 61 secondary school children by charity Place2Be, shows self-harm reports increased by 77%, from 48 to 85, from August to September 2021. Finding the right words to approach self-harming can be difficult – this online webinar was created to help you (parents, carers, teachers) approach this topic with empathy and confidence. Discovering that a young person you are caring for is self harming can be an extremely stressful situation. When we are highly emotional, it can cause us to react in desperate ways, which are often not helpful or supportive to the young person, even if our intentions are totally well-meaning. > “A really helpful, caring approach – it has clarified so much for me and I can > now see a sensible way forward.” > > MARTIN, PARENT. This course is relevant to a range of self-harming behaviours including: * self-injury * cutting, ripping or carving skin * burning skin * punching or hitting themselves * scratching or pinching (including dermatillomania) * poisoning themselves with tablets or liquids (or similar) * over-eating and under-eating (anorexia or bulimia) * biting yourself (dermatophagia) * inserting objects into your body * overdosing, exercising excessively * pulling your hair (trichotillomania) * getting into fights where you know you will get hurt WHAT YOU WILL LEARN * What is self-harm? * Why young people self-harm * How common is self-harming * How to approach the subject (building rapport, trust…) * How to react if your child (or any young person) tells you they are self harming (what not to say and do) * The distinction between self harm and a suicide attempt * The addictive element to self harm * How to help a young person break the addictive pattern * Helping a child in the short- and long term * The influence of social media and peers * Keeping your child safe * Looking after yourself (managing stress, anxiety and worry for the household) * Finding professional help View booking details [https://www.humangivens.com/college/help-young-people-who-self-harm-live-online-webinar/#price] WHO THIS TRAINING IS SUITABLE FOR * Parents, other family members and/or carers of children and young people who are at risk of self harming or currently self harming. * Anyone who works with young people and needs to know how best to help when someone discloses that they self-harm or who they suspect may be self-harming. * Therapists and counsellors who want to gain a better understanding so they can support families with a member who self harms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘How to help young people who self harm’ live online webinar starts at 9.15am and runs until 1.30pm (GMT). * 9.15am Join the Zoom meeting * 9.30am Understanding self harm * 10.45am Comfort break and discussion * 10.55am How to approach self harm and be most helpful * 12.00pm Comfort break and discussion * 12.10pm Creating the optimal conditions for recovery * 1.30pm Webinar ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS COURSE HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY ACCREDITED BY THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED CPD STANDARDS OFFICE FOR 3.5 HOURS OF CPD TRAINING.
