The group aims to encourage young people to develop alternative coping strategies for dealing with their feelings, thereby reducing the need to self-harm. Each session includes topics such as; anger\/anxiety management; relaxation; assertion\/communication skills; distraction\/channelling; problem solving; and self-control. Group members will receive printed information from the sessions to take away with them and build into a support reference. The sessions will enhance the individual''s feelings of self-control and responsibility for their actions, giving them a sense of choice about how they deal with difficult situations and feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"It provides a clear structure for setting up and running group sessions for young people who self-harm...
