“Understanding Self- Harming Behaviors and How to Help our Children”. Self-injury is one of the most perplexing and challenging behaviors parents, caregivers, and educators may face. In 2018, it was estimated that approximately one in four teen girls deliberately self-injured by cutting themselves. The number of children and teens engaging in these behaviors is on the rise. Lauren Eckhart, Director of Clinical Services at Cedar Springs Hospital, will explain self-injury including possible causes, signs to look for, treatment approaches, and community resources.
