Consider your role as a social worker and think about how you would raise awareness for educators to respond to this increasing maladaptive coping mechanism.
Submit a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation explaining the indicators of self-harm, appropriate interventions, and follow-up steps for educators needing to respond to those who self-harm.
PowerPoint slides should present bulleted text on the slides with a full transcript of the presentation in the notes section.
