Abstract

Children and young people’s mental health continues to be a cause for concern at a time of reduced mental health service provision. Worryingly, suicide and self-harm rates continue to rise. An estimated two hundred children and young people lose their lives annually through completed suicide. Half of that number will have a previous
self-harm history. Practice nurses are often favoured by young people as being less stigmatising; therefore they can potentially provide opportunities for early help through being vigilant, informed, hearing the
young person’s story and then knowing how to support and
appropriately respond and signpost. This article explores both the differences between self‑harm and suicidal behaviour, and how they are connected.
