**The Student Workbook is designed to accompany "Self-Injury: A Manual for School Professionals".**

This Workbook can be used as an individual intervention (e.g. given to a student to complete on their own and then review with a staff member) or as a format for a more in-depth individual session with a counselor or in a group setting. The exercises can be used randomly or in order. It is possible to "pick and choose" the parts of exercises that are relevant at a given time.
