Cutting, self-harm, self-abuse, parasuicide, self-injury, and self-mutilation are terms that have been used to describe the behavior now included in the DSM-V as "Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Disorder” (NSSID). Participants in this 3-hour workshop will gain understanding to differentiate between suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury, explore causes in children and adolescents.
