Unfortunately more children are resorting to self-harm as a response to the pressures of growing up. With 60% of parents reporting they feel uncomfortable discussing self-harm with their children, thousands of children could be suffering in silence.
To help parents the Virtual College has launched a free online course that provides information on how to sensitively talk to your children about self-harm and tactics for increasing mental resilience.
