Given that the prevalence of self-harm is increasing, it is fundamental that those caring for CYP to have the appropriate skill set to care for this group of patients. Engaging in a therapeutic alliance and promoting mutual understanding and compassionate care is essential.
The 'Our care through our eyes' study is funded by the Burdette Trust for Nursing to improve care to CYP who self-harm. Workshops with CYP and nurses have been used to identify outstanding learning needs and to develop the educational materials.
