“…Research has found that trauma and stressors in the home may increase the risk of engaging in NSSI (e.g., Deiter, Nicholls, & Pearlman, 2000;Gratz, 2003), but school stressors may also impact NSSI behaviour. Beyond the home environment, adolescents' emotional well-being and ability to cope can be either positively or negatively affected by how they perceive their school environment (Ozer & Weinstein, 2004;Samdal, Wold, & Bronis, 1999).…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has become very prominent among adolescents in middle and high school settings. However, little research has evaluated the role of the school environment in the behaviour. This study examined whether indices of school trust and perceived safety were predictive of NSSI behaviour. Results indicate that these variables allow us to more accurately identify participants who engage in NSSI. Students who report being bullied and threatened, and who have less trust in specific members of school staff are more likely to engage in NSSI.L’automutilation non-suicidaire (AMNS) est devenue un comportement très important parmi les adolescents en milieu scolaire. Cependant, peu de recherches ont évalué le rôle de l’environnement scolaire dans le comportement. Cette étude examine si les indices de confiance et de la perception de sécurité à l’école sont des facteurs prédictifs de l’AMNS. Les résultats indiquent que ces variables nous permettent d’identifier plus précisément les participants qui endossent l’AMNS. Les étudiants qui déclarent être victimes d’intimidation et de menace, et qui ont moins confiance en certains membres du personnel scolaire sont plus susceptibles de dire qu’ils s’engagent dans l’AMNS

“…Walsh (2006) suggested that interventions should be "positive and nonintrusive" and that "if self-injury is...nonsuicidal, then immediate protective interventions...are usually not necessary" (p.227). Deiter, Nicholls, & Pearlman (2000) caution against use of restraints and seclusion, and Walsh (2006) warns that inappropriate or punitive responses to SIB can have long-term negative repercussions, risking hopelessness, shame, anxiety, and depression, as well as susceptibility to further self-injury.…”

To date, little research has systematically investigated perceptions of mental health professionals regarding perceived motivations for self-injury among prison inmates. To help fill this gap, descriptive techniques were used to examine selfinjurious behavior among inmates from the perspective of correctional mental health professionals. A quantitative survey was used to assess perceptions of mental health staff regarding etiology, motivations, and manifestations of selfinjury. A qualitative interview component was used to explicate responses from the survey. Findings indicate that inmate cutting, scratching, opening old wounds, and inserting objects were the most commonly witnessed behaviors. There were indications that self-injury occurred regularly and that a subset of inmates are responsible for recurrent events. Mental health professionals perceived the motivation for inmate self-injury to be both manipulative and a coping

“…Counseling can be time consuming, complicated, and frustrating for both the counselor and the client who self-injures (Deiter, Nicholls, & Pearlman, 2000). To effectively empower clients for change, counselors must be cognizant of the multiple meanings of self-injury.…”
