Lori Vann joins us to talk about non suicidal self injury. She has written multiple books on the topic including “The caregivers guide to self-injury,” and “The practitioner’s guide to the treatment of self-injury.” She talks about the Vann Tree Model and treating the roots of the problem rather than focusing on dead leaves (symptoms). She also talks about how and why the age of occurrence is getting younger and younger as pre-teens are getting online and involved in social media. Enjoy.
