This webinar will provide governors, headteachers, senior leaders and teaching staff with an understanding of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), the potential impacts of NSSI content online and how to identify, respond and support pupils who may experience NSSI.

The motives for NSSI can be varied and often difficult to understand. Quantifying a link between social media use and children’s health is complicated but whilst the internet presents a range of online risks, it has been stated that many factors affect mental health and it can be difficult to disentangle these factors from any effect caused by screen or social media use.

In this webinar, Dr Amanda Giordano, an associate professor of counselling at the University of Georgia, author and award-winning counsellor, will explore what NSSI is, the potential relationship with content online and what practical steps schools can take to support pupils’ mental health who may be engaging in NSSI.
