Content warning: This session will discuss self-harm, triggers, and serious mental ill health.
In this session, Satveer will share her lived experience and respond to your questions around the topic of self-harm. The conversation will be facilitated by Julie Castleman, one of MHFA England’s National Trainers. You will have an opportunity to ask Satveer questions to understand more about her experience, as well as enhance your knowledge on the topic of self-harm.

Your speaker for this session is Satveer Nijjar, an MHFA England plenary speaker. Satveer’s passion is to reduce stigma around mental ill health. Her focus is on improving the understanding and response to self-harm behaviours. Her experiences as a patient, and more recently as a parent of a child with mental illness, have helped shape her career.
