Increasing School Personnel's Self-Efficacy, Knowledge, and Response Regarding Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Youth
Glennon, Sara D.; Viola, Shannon B.; Blakely, Alane O.
Psychology in the Schools, v57 n1 p135-151 Jan 2020
Rates of students engaging in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) are rising and additional supports in the schools are needed (Nock, 2010, "Ann Rev Clin Psychol," 6, 339-363; Stargell et al., 2017, "Prof Sch Couns," 21, 37-46). School psychologists, school counselors, and school nurses are key personnel in responding to self-injurious behaviors within the school setting. The results of a practice-based research project are described, in which school psychologists, school counselors, and school nurses participated in training to increase their self-efficacy, knowledge, and response in regard to NSSI. The training provided information regarding best practice in responding to NSSI in youth (Hasking et al., 2016, "Sch Psychol Int," 37(6), 644-663; Kanan et al., 2008, "Sch Psychol Forum: Res Prac," 2, 67-79; Walsh & Muehlenkamp, 2013, "Sch Psychol Forum: Res Prac," 7, 161-171). This exploratory study indicated that training positively impacted participants' perceived self-efficacy and knowledge with respect to responding to youth who engage in NSSI. Handouts and resources for school-based staff are included. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
