Step by Step Resources
Our Step by Step resources
These include help and support for anyone concerned about
self-harm or suicide in the school community.
These resources have been
developed by a range of organisations with expertise on self-harm,
suicide and working with young people, their families and schools.
We asked volunteers, young people and education professionals to
evaluate a wide range of materials and they told us that the ones
below were the most useful.
- Resources on
self-harm:
These resources are designed to help people who self-harm. They
include information about why people self-harm, and sources of
support and guidance. They have been written by the Mental Health Foundation,
Royal College of
Psychiatrists, Young
Minds and Samaritans.
- Resources on
suicide:
These resources are designed to help school communities affected by
suicide. They advise on appropriate responses to suicide which
support others and reduce the risk of further suicides. They can
also help schools to prepare critical incident plans relating to
suicide. They have been written by NEPS, Papyrus, Survivors of Bereavement by
Suicide, Winston’s
Wish and Young
Minds.
A
list of further resources and other helplines is also
available
