Understanding and supporting children who self harm: Giving them a voice | Emerging Minds Podcast

In this podcast episode, we hear from Dr Lyn O’Grady, a community psychologist, and David Newman, a narrative therapist and social worker, as they share their insights on recognising and responding to self-harming behaviour with children.   Lyn and David emphasise the importance of understanding children’s underlying distress and despair while giving their self-harming behaviour a voice in therapy. They specifically highlight how a child-led approach helps prevent power imbalances and further pressurising of children. They also speak about how collaboration and recognising children's actions can foster helpful pathways.  Both Lyn and David were part of a broader conversation with Emerging Minds about their work with children who experience suicidal ideation, which included discussions about self-harming behaviour.
