Self-harm Awareness Certificate

Self-harm involves people inflicting injury on their bodies to reduce different kinds of emotional pain or to experience a certain euphoric feeling. Whatever the reasons for self-harm, they do not make sense to people who do not have this issue.

Self-harm affects many people worldwide and continues to do so. The condition often points to an underlying mental illness or disorder. Therefore, it becomes important to create awareness about this condition, so that sufferers can seek help or get treatment.

This course first defines self-harm and states its many forms.

We then state various causes of self-harm and the signs and symptoms to look out for in those people who are suspected to have this issue.

Next, we explain why people tend to engage in this painful practice that only causes them more harm.

The course covers different treatment options available for self-harm and how they can help sufferers overcome the issue.

Several distraction techniques that patients can adopt to help them stop self-harm, are also covered.

A few myths around self-harm are also given.
