'Responding to self-harm in Scotland': consultation events

 PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 17 November 2010

In a follow-up to our previous article about the Scottish Government consultation on self-harm they are now looking for engagement and input through a number of public meetings.

 

Participation is particularly sought from those who: support and work with those who self-harm, or those at risk of self-harm, and want to contribute to the consultation; are representatives from national bodies and the third sector who want to contribute; or who have experience of self-harm and who are comfortable sharing their perspectives (a separate consultation exercise will be undertaken with people who self-harm).

The aim is to record main discussion points and suggestions for action, and get input for the content of a resource guide on sources of information and training for key professional groups.

The events will take place from in Dundee on 8 December, Glasgow on 16 December and Edinburgh on 19 January. To register by the deadline of 1 December go to the registration page.
