Introduction
Self-harm is a significant and complex issue frequently encountered within healthcare settings. Many individuals who attend hospital following acts of self-harm are experiencing intense emotional distress, psychological crisis, or underlying mental health difficulties.
Healthcare Security Officers may be required to support clinical staff in managing situations where patients are at risk of harming themselves. These situations can be highly sensitive and require a calm, informed, and compassionate approach.
This course provides an overview of self-harm, including the reasons why people may harm themselves, the methods commonly used, and the risks associated with self-harming behaviour. It also explores how Healthcare Security Officers can support patients who self-harm in a professional and supportive manner while maintaining safety within the healthcare environment.
Understanding self-harm helps security staff respond appropriately, support clinical colleagues, and contribute to the safe management of vulnerable patients.
