Supporting Our Apprentices To Thrive Through The Crisis

Self-harm is the deliberate act of causing harm to the self, with or without an intention to die from this harm.
Research suggest that 1 in 4 young women and 1 in 10 young men have self-harmed at some point in their life. Self harm rates have also risen fastest among young people since 2000.
From our conversations with college staff, we know that self-harm among students is a common concern for staff members.
The resource includes information on:
- why young people self-harm
- signs to spot in students
- how to start a conversation with a student if you're concerned
- further ways to support students
- who else to involve

Around one in six 17 to 22 year olds has an identifiable mental health condition, and college staff report significant increases in students with both diagnosed and undiagnosed conditions.
Further education is a unique educational environment with its own challenges.
Staff may spend less time with students, making it more difficult to notice or raise concerns. Students may have additional pressures, like money or housing, which can contribute to mental health concerns.
This section of the website will support college staff with some of the most common mental health issues they see in their students.
