In this 90-minute online workshop you will watch the film Ask Me How I Am, an animated short film about self- harm co-created by local young people with lived experience of self-harm, film company Boundary Pictures and Fullscope.
Independent consultant Juliet Snell from Cambridge-based consultancy Taproot will guide you through some questions which will explore the film in more depth.
You will be asked to share your responses to the film within a group environment. However, you will not be asked to share anything personal to you. The meeting may be recorded/transcribed for later analysis, but will be anonymised to remove any identifying information.
If you have any questions about how we will use your information, please contact [email protected]
Background
Fullscope have been commissioned by NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to work with Public Health to understand the issues around self-harm for children and young people locally.
This work has involved to date:
- Data and research to understand the local picture
- The co-creation of a film about self-harm, made with young people with lived experience: Ask Me How I Am.
- The development and delivery of workshops for local professionals working with young people.
Ask Me How I Am is currently available only to professionals and within a workshop environment. We are keen to explore opportunities for a wider audience to access the film and/or participate in workshops.
Eligibility criteria
As part of our risk assessment and due diligence for this work, we would like to consult with local professionals and parent/carers. Consultation sessions have been organised for:
- Professionals who have accessed the Understanding Self-Harm workshop delivered by Fullscope in 2023.
- Professionals who have NOT accessed Fullscope’s Understanding Self-Harm workshop, and have also NOT seen the film Ask Me How I Am*
- Parents/carers of young people living/studying in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
*Ask Me How I Am has been shared within some local professional meetings and steering groups. If you have already seen the film within one of these meetings, you will not be eligible to participate in a consultation session.
