Understanding self-harm through art and words: end of project event Over the last year, we have been piloting a new approach to researching understandings and meanings of self-harm, using discussion groups that include art-making as a way of opening up discussion and reflection. We worked closely with two groups: one group of practitioners, who work with people who have self-harmed; and another group of young people who have experience of self-harm. Lunch at 12pm will be followed by brief presentations on findings, and guided discussion among the audience, with the opportunity to reflect on and feedback to the research team about the findings. We hope that the events will be of special interest to: practitioners who work with people who self-harm – in health, education, social care or elsewhere; people who have experience of self-harm; people who know and care for people who self-harm; and researchers interested in different ways of knowing about and understanding self-harm. This event showcases findings from the project, 'Understanding self-harm, an arts-informed inquiry' funded by Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, and the British Academy. The project team are Amy Chandler, and Zoi Simopoulou.
