Self-Injury Behaviour in Youth - Issues & Strategies Location: Best Western Port O'Call Hotel Calgary When: Thursday, December 09, 2010 to Friday, December 10, 2010 at 9:00am - 4:00pm Contact: Delayne Hogan Contact Number: 204-452-9199 Email: delayne@ctrinstitute.com WebSite: www.ctrinstitute.com December 9 & 10, 2010 Self-injury refers to deliberate, self-inflicted tissue damage, such as cutting or burning. Self-injury has reached alarming proportions amongst our youth, with North American studies indicating adolescent prevalence of between 14 and 18 percent. Helping professionals are therefore increasingly encountering young people who are engaging in self-injury. This workshop will begin with a general overview to assist participants in understanding the experience and motivations of adolescents who intentionally injure themselves. The content will then focus on practical strategies for working with youth struggling with this complex issue. Participants will leave this workshop with increased insight regarding self-injury behaviour in youth and direction for effective interventions.
