10.01.2022 ** FREE download for the next 48 hours. I have received too many email from parents and educators about self-harm this week. As our world continues to change, ...so does the world of our kids..and there are some big feelings emerging. As the caring adults in tweens and teens lives, we have a big job to do right now. Our job is to shelter young ones within our wing span. We claim them. We step in when they are lacking the motivation to care for themselves. Self-harm is affecting more young people than many want to admit. It comes in many shapes and forms, and isn't just about cutting or burning. I refer to self-harm as the destructive thinking that leads our kids to all sorts of destructive behaviours. I know that walking beside a child in their darkest times is one of the most powerful things parents will ever do, but it isn't easy. If you feel like you need up-skilling, you will find a list of FREE resources below. They come with all of my love and support. Please feel free to share them with your school communities or wherever necessary. No need to ask my permission - go for it. I want you to know that in some small way I am walking with you. I have asked him mum if I can include her message to me, because I want parents to see that they aren’t alone. It's intense. It's difficult. But in the years to come your relationship has the potential to be so much stronger for having the capacity to embrace them. Hi Michelle, I met you at xxxxx, gosh it must be over a year ago, or was it 2??? My daughter was not self harming, but had friends who were self harming through alcohol and smoking (tobacco and marijuana) and I admitted to you that when you came on stage, I sat back in my chair and said to myself ahhh, I can sit back and relax during this one...my daughter doesn’t self harm, won’t need to take notes But what I did learn was whilst she wasn’t self harming....her friends were. I spoke to you during the interval about my revelation that yes, my daughter was dealing with self harm-but in a different way...and we gave a little high five, and off I trotted. Well, how things have changed. I found out my daughter had self harmed-she snuck a knife into her room, cut 5 or 6 lines near her elbow-I discovered it about a week later. We spoke about what set her off and she promised to tell me if she ever felt she wanted to do it again(this was at the very beginning of covid-school was in the process of announcing closure and xxx was experiencing an outbreak and this was dominating the news and their(teens) social media platforms (March) Was this the trigger, I don’t know. Over the weekend just gone I found out she had self harmed again. I have just ordered your book and downloaded the podcast, my fear is heightened however I am trying to keep my cool in public. Thank you for having something for me to grab onto-to learn and know that there are people out there to help educate us parents, we are living in strange times, and our children are suffering. Until I can read the book, I will hold my daughter close and tell her she is loved Sincerely, xxxxx WHAT I CAN OFFER: A collection of free blogs on my website here: https://michellemitchell.org/library/blog-self-harm One blog I would like to particularly draw your attention to is here, as initial conversations are critical: https://michellemitchell.org//whattosaytoateenwhoisselfhar My latest 7 minute radio interview with 96five here: https://michellemitchell.org//an-interview-at-96-5fm-with- Use the code FREE to download a one hour presentation, usually $9.99 here: https://michellemitchell.org/self-harm-audio-presentation (This will be a FREE download for the next 48 hours, till midnight Friday 7th night to be exact). #inthistogether
