Autism and NSSI- Non Suicidal Self Injury Webinar
October 6, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Join us as Jules Haddock explores this topic, with her expertise as a trainer as well as a mother of a young man on the Spectrum.
No two people with Autism will experience life the same. For this reason, we need to understand the variances under the diagnosis.
These include: Strengths, Communication, Social Interactions, Leisure and play, Sensory influences, Thought processes, and Experiencing and Comorbidity, or the presentation of anxiety or depression, can see people on the Autism Spectrum, vulnerable to engaging in NSSI- Non-Suicidal Self Injury.
The more confident we are in our understanding of comorbidity, and NSSI, the more equipped we will be in not only identifying triggers to this behaviour but encouraging an environment of calm.

Healthy Minds Geelong's vision is to create a positive culture of mental health across the Geelong region.
The HMG concept was born out of an identified gap in local mental health support services and in particular the need for a dedicated local information hub to help connect the community to local services, navigate the mental health care system and ultimately empower people to look after their mental health.
