Practical Alternatives to Self-Harm 201

Diane Clare

A more in-depth look into responding effectively to those who are engaging in non-suicidal self-injury.

The APEX model is an evidence-based approach on how to respond effectively to those who are engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).

This workshop builds on the introductory workshop Practical Alternatives to Self-Harm 101 (so those attending workshop 201 must have attended the ASH 101 workshop prior) and is for those who offer individual treatment or therapy.

Through interactive discussions and activities, this workshop examines the underlying evidence-based principles of the Alternatives Self Harm approach learned in Workshop 101 and will include experiential tasks including role play to enhance your learning.

 

Learning Outcomes

  • How to apply the APEX model to a case example & create a first aid kit matched to that case example.
  • Practice and gain confidence in using the Stop & Think strategy.
  • Understand how to use the Emotional Intensity Continuum.
  • Create an XYZ contract with a case example where the purposes are matched to 3 alternative strategies.
