Self-harm and eating disorders are present in almost every school and they frequently co-occur. This book provides the vital guidance that school staff need to spot early warning signs, understand triggers and support the students in their care effectively.

This very practical guide helps educational professionals to gain a better understanding of self-harm and eating disorders by dispelling the myths and misconceptions that surround these behaviours. The book provides advice on whole-school policies and procedures as well as day-to-day strategies to implement in lessons, at mealtimes and in one-on-one sessions. It explains how to respond to disclosures, make referrals and work alongside parents to assist in the road to recovery.

Industry Reviews
This book has a no-nonsense approach and clear layout, and provides enough sound advice to make the identification and support of pupils with these kinds of emotional and mental health problem within school a real possibility... I believe it would be a valuable addition to any educational establishment and one that could easily be included as a core text within teacher training reading list.
