SORTS Team, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge

Researchers at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge have produced a set of FREE resources to help school and college staff provide a supportive response to students who self-harm.

The resources have been co-developed with mental health professionals, school staff and young people as part of a research project funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR recently published a press release about the launch of the SORTS resources, which can be read here:

The SORTS website is designed to support a whole-school approach to self-harm prevention and intervention, and as such, includes an entry-level, 30-minute e-learning module targeted towards all school staff as well as information, videos and downloadable resources.
