Understanding and Working with Self-harm and Attempted Suicide – 18 June

A Presentation by Dr Terence Nice, Programme Director (Psychotherapy), the Centre for Professional Practice.

18th June 2018, 10.00-12.00 at the University of Kent Medway campus,

Medway Building, Room M3-04. Chatham Maritime ME4 4AG.

This short presentation focuses upon the assessment and treatment of people who self-harm and attempt suicide. The presentation looks at the prevalence of self-harm,   national guidelines, causative factors and ways of ameliorating suicidal ideations and diminishing acts of self-harm.  The territory of self-harm and attempted suicide is often paradoxical and labyrinthine, leaving clinicians, practitioners and workers uncertain about how to react positively and respond appropriately. The presentation is aimed at all those people who come into contact with young or older people who self-harm or attempt suicide.  The presenter is a Lecturer in Psychological Therapies, Highly Specialist Psychotherapist and an active researcher in this field. Dr Nice has also developed a self-harm tool-kit to assist in the assessment and treatment of this group. The presentation will be followed by Q&A time. Refreshments provided.

Venue: The course is delivered by the Centre for Professional Practice (CPP), based at the University of Kent, Medway Building, Chatham Maritime, Medway, ME4 4AG, Room M3-04.
