Room: National Harbor 7 Self-directed violence (SDV), comprising non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal self-injury and suicidal threats, presents a continued challenge for correctional institutions. Within the broad group of offenders who present SDV, only a subset demonstrates a Persistent Self-Injury Risk (PSIR). The realities of assessing, treating or managing the PSIR subset in a prison environment is not well-reflected in the professional literature nor is the impact on staff. The workshop will include original data, case examples of the function of these behaviors in prison, the frontline perspective of the impact on staff and interdisciplinary approaches to behavior management. Learning Objectives: • Identify existing perspectives from professional literature on the classification of self-directed violence.
