Notice Information

Notice Title

Self Harm Education and Training for Schools and Colleges

Notice Description

The mental health of children and young people is a growing concern, with 1 in 6 affected and increasing rates of self-harm. Schools report rising emotional and mental health issues, but existing support is not universally accessible. Enhancing staff skills to support students can positively impact their well-being. The project aligns with public health goals to reduce suicide and self-harm. An evaluation of Solent Mind's Self Harm Support Service showed high satisfaction and increased confidence among participants. The resource hub has been widely used, indicating its effectiveness in providing additional support and information. The prevalence of mental health difficulties among children and young people in England has increased from 9.7% in 1999 to 11.2% in 2017. Self-harm, a significant public health concern, is a priority in national strategies and clinical guidelines. The NHS Long Term Plan has allocated PS3.2bn for mental health, with a focus on children and young people. Initiatives include extending care pathways, introducing Mental Health Support Teams in schools, developing alternatives to A&E for crises, and creating a universal crisis access point through NHS 111. The programme aims to support education settings, particularly secondary schools and colleges, in helping young people who self-harm or are at risk of self-harming or suicide. It focuses on building the skills and knowledge of teachers and leaders, providing open access to self-harm information and resources via an electronic hub, and offering training tailored to the recipient's knowledge level. The objectives include increasing understanding of mental health and self-harm, recognizing warning signs, using de-escalation techniques, and ensuring alignment with evidence-based practices. The programme targets Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight.
