There is now an online service from Penumbra- https://selfharmnetworkscotland.org.uk which can support any young person aged 12 or over. For Primary school pupils, parents and carers can also seek advice here.
Self-harm is any non-accidental behaviour which causes, or has the potential to cause, harm to a person. Self-harm is where someone hurts themselves as a way of coping with difficult, distressing or overwhelming feelings or experiences. While we know that self-harm and suicide are linked, we also know that self-harm is often used as a way of surviving distressing experiences and to stay alive.

Due to the timing of last week’s post when P7 were away on their residential, we have decided to allow another week for anyone wanting to sign up for this. First session will now be on 7th May from 3-4.
We are keen to improve our service to ensure we are providing the best opportunities for our children. We value the opinion of our wider school community and believe that you should play a part in shaping how we do things in the future. We would really appreciate it if you could spend 5-10 minutes completing this short questionnaire below.
