The aim of this live online training with Emily Gajewski, a highly experienced psychotherapist specialising in treating self-harm, is to give you a thorough, in-depth understanding of why young people self-harm and how to approach/react when helping someone in both the short and long term, including the essential skills most likely to effectively support the young person on their journey to find less harmful ways of coping – the webinar focuses on the most evidence-based knowledge and skills in this area. It will also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure that you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be. Why you should attend With the ever changing, uncertain world we live in creating a vast amount of pressure on children – emotionally and physically – more children and teenagers are experiencing extremely stressful, distressing situations, with many looking for coping mechanisms to help them deal with their negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Self harm (including self injury) is hugely on the increase and rates are higher than ever since Covid-19 and the long periods of isolation and uncertainty young people have experienced in ‘lock downs’. A survey of 61 secondary school children by charity Place2Be, shows self-harm reports increased by 77%, from 48 to 85, from August to September 2021. Finding the right words to approach self-harming can be difficult – this online webinar was created to help you (parents, carers, teachers) approach this topic with empathy and confidence. Discovering that a young person you are caring for is self harming can be an extremely stressful situation. When we are highly emotional, it can cause us to react in desperate ways, which are often not helpful or supportive to the young person, even if our intentions are totally well-meaning. “A really helpful, caring approach – it has clarified so much for me and I can now see a sensible way forward.”MARTIN, PARENT.

In this course you’re invited to challenge limiting beliefs around ageing and to work towards clarity of life-purpose. In each session we show a series of short videos from experienced elders that are at the core of The Power in Ageing. After each video, an expert facilitator will invite you to reflect and explore your own responses to the key issues raised. You can then share (if you wish) or actively listen to others in a small facilitated group. There are also some optional activities that are engaging or fun. By bringing your own life experience and wisdom, you explore how you can enjoy each day in the present and live a fulfilled life in the future. In past courses, participants have found this revolutionary approach to ageing to be both beneficial and enjoyable. This is a safe programme that is tried and tested and is designed for people in their forties through to their seventies and above. It’s for people of all faiths or of no faith. There will be a couple of 5 minute break in each session so you can stay fresh and focused on the programme. We provide some Power of Ageing reading material after each session to help you get the most out of the course. (optional) We also offer an optional one-to-one follow up call after the course has finished. £45 for all 3 sessions "It's hugely important for me as an older man to re-engage with my peers, and with this time of life, positively.

DAVID PUGSLEY "I attended the power of ageing course and was amazed to learn the different paths the attendees had taken to reach our age, how we'd all coped with the hurdles life had put in front of us. Each session the time just flew by because the topics were so interesting." JENNY KIRTON
