Expert chat about self-harm - THURS 6th Oct,7-8pm

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hello :wave:

Before general chat this Thursday 6th October we'll be opening up early to run an expert chat around self-harm from 7-8pm.

We will be joined in the chat room by Karina - one of the managers at 42nd Street - a mental health project for young people in Manchester.

Karina has been working with young people who self harm for 14 years in both one to one and group settings. Her focus is around the idea of giving young people a chance to share their experiences and talk about what works for them when coping with self harm. If you'd like to ask Karina a question then do come along to the chat.

If you can't make it but you'd like to ask something then you can send me a Private Message or submit it by replying to this thread and we can ask it on your behalf. After the chat the transcript will be published in the chat arhive: http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat/archive

The chat will be fully moderated so all comments will go through to a queue before they appear in the chat room, this is so that everyone gets a chance to have their question answered.

Once chat is open on the night you will be able to log in from this page: http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat

    Is it self-harm specific or can I ask about other mental health related stuff?

    Hey franki, It's focused on self-harm as that's Karina's area of expertise. You can always ask a question to askTheSite though - we work with a partner called Sane and they respond to questions around mental health :thumb:
