Psychology of Self-Harm and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI)

Psychology of Self-Harm and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI)

This is a comprehensive, in-depth, academic, yet easy-to understand introductory course which is jam-packed with 32 topics relevant to the study of self-harm and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). 

Sadly, non-suicidal self-injury has become a common behavior used by children, teens, and adults for coping with their emotional distress. Most people erroneously equate self-injurious behaviors with suicidality, but this is not always true. Self-injurers have to be treated differently than suicidal people.  Moreover, self-injurers need to know that is much hope for them to recover, and that there are people-helpers who can support them in their journey towards having a more positive and meaningful life.

This certificated course will help you: (1) Understand the mindset and behaviors of people who injure themselves. (2) Assess self-injurious behaviors from the self-injurer's perspective. (3) Learn how to help people who injure themselves. 

This course is NOT for you if you are depressed, self-injurious, or suicidal.

This is NOT a self-help course for people who are depressed, self-injurious, or suicidal. 

This is NOT a skills-building course because skills-building is best done under supervision of a mental health professional in onsite, in-person workshops.

This course is taught by a doctor of both psychiatry and psychology who has had more than 25 years of clinical experience in helping people overcome and heal from their self-injurious tendencies and behaviors. 

Understand the mindset of teens and adults who inflict harm on themselves. And more importantly, learn how to help them!
