Self Harm

This session will hopefully increase parents and carers understanding about Self Harm and offer some practical ways they can help young people who may consider or display self-harming behaviour.  

The session will be facilitated by Lucia Romeou Somma from the Penumbra Edinburgh Self Harm Project. Lucia provides information, advice and support to parents and family members of young people who self-harm and has lived experience of self-harm and recovery.

All S1 & S2 parents should by now have received a letter inviting them to come back to school for a day on 29^th May.  This will be our third “Parent Class” who have joined us for a day back at school. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive about the experience.  Thanks for all the responses so far, please keep them coming and we are looking forward to meeting you all on Monday 29^th May.  J Presly
