A Self-Harm Awareness Training Module for School Staff: Co-Design and User Testing Study

The Supportive Response to Self-Harm e-learning module was developed to enhance school staff's knowledge and confidence in responding to self-harm. It was created with a user-centered design and a person-based approach and underpinned by psychological theory. Initial findings indicate that the training is acceptable and feasible. Further research will involve a mixed methods pilot feasibility study to assess the effectiveness of the program. This will provide the necessary evidence for a large-scale rollout in schools.
