Self-Harm Epidemic: Root Causes, Red Flags, and Road to Recovery - Shannon Perry
More young people are harming themselves than ever before, and there has been a tragic increase on that front particularly among young females since 2009. It is this terrible problem that Shannon Perry is confronting head-on as a certified parenting instructor, counselor, speaker, and the founder of an incredible mother-daughter event, In Her Shoes. Shannon discusses the drivers behind self-harm, and how parents can be on the lookout for signs of self-harming behavior in their children. Most kids are just trying to feel something beyond the numbness of their emotional pain. She also talks about tactics teens may use to hide their self-harming techniques and what red flags parents can watch for to identify these issues. In addition, Shannon shares how we can lovingly but firmly provide a safe space and a healing environment for hurting kids.
