Just coming down from 2 very intensive days of discussion about Self-injury, Self-harm, and Suicide at the THEMHS Summer Forum in Sydney. I take my hat off to the organisers for organising the forum - not the most popular of topics, and yet one of the most important in every day mental health practice. Clinicians really struggle with this one, and lack of knowledge and ill thought through strategies can lead to serious stigma - which in turn may block help-seeking.
The blog for the forum is at
