“Why would they do that to themselves?”
If you’ve ever asked that question after learning a teen is cutting, burning, or harming themselves in other ways – you’re not alone.
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is more common than most realize, with studies estimating up to 1 in 5 students have engaged in some form of self-harm. And while teachers, counselors, and clinicians are increasingly on the front lines of this silent epidemic, most feel unprepared to respond.
And the truth is, your response can change the outcome.
In this training, you’ll learn:
Led by behavioral neuroscientist and seasoned expert, Dr. Nicolle Carr, this course gives you practical tools to spot warning signs, engage compassionately, and work in partnership with students, families, and mental health teams to build hope and healing.
Whether you’re in the classroom, the counseling office, or clinical practice, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable roadmap for supporting teens who self-injure – without judgment, fear, or helplessness.
