Understanding Self-Harm
A self-paced online course for parents and carers.
When you discover your child is self-harming, it’s easy to panic. Most parents desperately want to help but feel frightened, overwhelmed and unsure what to do next.
This course is designed to help you move from fear and uncertainty to calm, confident support.
Created by teen mental health coach Clare Assante, the course explains why young people self-harm, how the teenage mind works, and how to create the emotional safety that helps recovery.
Inside the course you’ll learn how to:
- Understand what’s really driving self-harm.
- Respond in ways that strengthen your relationship.
- Reduce conflict and panic at home.
- Help your teenager build a healthier relationship with difficult feelings.
- Know when extra professional support is needed.
The course includes short video lessons, downloadable worksheets and practical tools you can begin using immediately.
Whether self-harm has just started or has been happening for some time, this course will help you feel more confident supporting your teenager.
