Self-Injury:
More than Self-Mutilation and Cutting

There are MANY reasons why individuals “choose” to injure themselves. Is it really a choice? The definition of self-harm is the deliberate infliction of damage or alteration to oneself often WITHOUT suicidal intent, by those with eating disorders, mental illness, a history of trauma, emotional and/or sexual abuse, and personality traits such as low self-esteem or perfectionism. This webinar is designed to support professionals who work directly with those who engage in self-harm to learn information and gather tools to use to understand and support those with a self-injury experience. We will review celebrities who are in recovery from self-harm.
