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

Family plays Blues together
I am so proud of our talented family. The Mad Martins from Adelaide are using family time and their musical talents to play blues together.
Just love 'Slow Blues', Hannah's 'Be what you wanna be' and Rory's 'Are we there yet?' Great piece of work in the studio you guys...

Great self-help videos for young people - from the UK
I think its good that someone is making these videos - they may educate staff as much as young people. They are a bit glossy, and the comments on each video reflect a mix of like versus not like. The accents sound like they emanate from Manchester.
