A more in-depth look into responding effectively to those who are engaging in non-suicidal self-injury
The APEX© model is an evidence-based approach designed by Diane Clare on how to respond effectively to those who are engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).
This workshop builds on the introductory workshop Practical Alternatives to Self-Harm 101 (so those attending workshop 201 must have attended the ASH 101 workshop prior) and is for those who offer individual treatment or therapy.
Through interactive discussions and activities, this workshop examines the underlying evidence-based principles of the Alternatives Self Harm approach learned in Workshop 101 and will include experiential tasks including role play to enhance your learning.
Who Should Attend ASH 201
Typically therapists who are providing therapeutic interventions as the main component of their role.
**FYI - For those who have attended both ASH 101 and ASH 201, a further ASH 301 on how to apply this to running ASH groups is an option at a later date. This workshop will take you through session by session on how to do this. Contact us today to register your interest.
NOTE - If your organisation is interested in having Diane present face-face as a private workshop to your team, please contact Faye Johnson for more information.
