Understanding Self Harm Together

Self-harm is often a way of coping with overwhelming emotions, but there are healthier paths to healing. This supportive and non-judgmental course is designed to help individuals, families, and professionals understand self-harm, explore its underlying causes, and learn practical strategies for recovery. Learn coping techniques and alternative strategies for managing distress. Explore ways to support yourself or someone you care about and connect with a community that understands.
 

Exploring my identity


The Tree of Life is a hopeful and inspiring approach to exploring your strengths and different aspects of your identity. We will offer a safe and supportive space for you to connect with your skills, hopes and dreams, as well as the special people in your life. You will be guided to create your tree (or to use a pre-drawn template; artistic skill is not a prerequisite) and each part of the tree will represent these different aspects of your life. We will share and talk together in the group about our trees, in a way that strengthens relationships with our heritage, culture, and significant people in our lives.
