Coping with Cutting: A Parent's Guide

Do you find yourself angry, frustrated and helpless when you think about your child?s cutting? Do you struggle to understand how your child can be hurting himself/herself in this way? Some youth find their emotions so distressing that the only way they know how to relieve the intensity of their emotions is the cut/hurt themselves. This workshop will discuss self harm, its causes and frequency, warning signs, risk factors, and will provide information on how parents can help struggling teens.
