Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Behavior in Adults
Hours: 1.00 - 1.25
Non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors occur with greater frequency in adolescents and young adults. However, clinicians often overlook that adults also engage in these behaviors. Treating non-suicidal self-injurious behavior is critical, as it is associated with a host of negative outcomes including an increased risk for suicide. In this course, you will learn how to identify signs of non-suicidal self-injurious behavior. You will explore the various functions this behavior serves for those who engage in it, and how you can effectively work with individuals to modify these maladaptive coping strategies.
The goal of this course is to provide addictions professionals, behavioral health counselors, marriage and family therapists, nurses, psychologists, and social workers in health and human services settings with information on how to identify and treat non-suicidal self-injurious behavior in adults.
