How to recognise and best respond to children and young people who self harm
Carol Fitzpatrick is Professor of Child Psychiatry at University College Dublin, UK and is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who has over 30 years' experience of working with young people with self-harm or suicidal behaviour. She is a co-founder of the SPACE Programme, an award-winning support programme for parents and carers of young people with self-harm or suicidal behaviour.
Of particular use to me was the chapter on the
parents/professionals views of their own support needs. The advice
and content of this chapter has been consumed into my current work.
The list of further websites and resources has been invaluable in
providing advice and support to young people and their
families.
I would recommend this book to anyone who works with this client
group it provides invaluable and credible advice and empathic
support.
*Debate*
Written by a Child Psychiatrist, this book offers helpful
information and guidance to parents and carers of young people who
self-harm. Through her considerable experience of working with this
group of young people, the author has developed an awareness of the
negative impact that self-harming can have on parents and carers as
well as the positive support they are able to offer to the young
people they care for... this book (is) a valuable and practical
resource.
*Youth in Mind*
This book combines case studies with professional advice to help
the reader take the first steps towards helping the young person in
need... will be an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, youth
workers, and others who care for a young person showing signs of
self-harm or suicidal behaviour.
