Self-injury Support Package
Unique Connections was founded to work with individuals who have chronic self-injury.
First and foremost, we exist to improve the lives of those who self-injure.
This is our specialism, and we absolutely love working with organisations to find new ways forward.
Self-injury occurs in around 1 in 5 people with learning disabilities and autism; it can be extremely distressing for both the individual and those supporting them.
By the time an organisation reaches out to us for help with someone who is self-injuring, they have usually worked extremely hard and exhausted the resources of their behaviour package and staff expertise.
Whatever the background of the individual you have in mind, it is likely that they have been self-injuring for some considerable time. It has taken time for them to reach this point, and it will take some time for things to turn around. Therefore, the help we offer is through a process. We want to be confident that the young person is making progress over time, so we prefer to journey with you for a few months, rather than coming in once or twice and then disappearing.

Details: Self-injury support package

Training for your wider team in self-injury and associated concerns.
Bespoke workshop with the team supporting the individual.
