Evans R, et al. - Considering the significance of developing effective approaches for prevention or intervention for adolescent self-harm, researchers assessed existing provisions, barriers to implementation, and the acceptability of different approaches with regard to in-school interventions. One member of staff from a convenience sample of 153 secondary schools in England and Wales completed the survey on behalf of each school. Schools primarily stress emotional health and well-being, although self-harm is also a concern. To respond to adolescent self-harm, schools consider counseling as the most useful school-based provision. Staff training on self-harm was provided in only 52% of schools, with 22% of schools rating the adequacy of training as high. Lack of time, lack of resources, lack of staff training and time, and fear of encouraging adolescents were identified as the chief barriers to schools addressing adolescent self-harm. As per these finding, they suggest a possible efficacy of focusing on increasing the availability of training to teaching staff.
