This was hugely helpful - my daughter and I have learnt so much, and it's made a lot of sense of numerous things that have been happening for her – really can't thank you enough for making this information available.
Parent
Really useful, so much information was covered – lots of great ideas to try - loved the questions from other attendees, they brought out even more valuable information from Gareth's experience.
Teacher
I've learnt masses, everything was very clearly explained, thank you.
Student
I found it 99 % excellent and need to listen again to absorb much more of the practical relevance. Thank you. Only one reservation, that you seemed to imply that you don’t directly challenge self-harm behaviours within the therapeutic sessions/relationship.
You have masses more experience, but my view would be to see that as risky. My limited experience suggests that self-harm and suicidal urges are not mutually exclusive, or that there may be a continuum. Many years ago in Clinical Psychology I was taught to see them as distinct but now I don’t. Perhaps you could elaborate? Again, many thanks.
Thanks for your feedback and question. Self-harming behaviours and suicide are covered in-depth on the following courses Overcoming Self-harm and How to reduce suicide risk

Amazing! I work in a Secondary school and most of the students using the Wellbeing Service are experiencing anxiety. This approach really works. I am very excited to continue my HG journey
I did this course as part of my CPD requirement and it was an excellent form of revision, with new insights for me about working with young people …. I have usually worked with adults. Clear, precise, confidence-building. I’m looking forward to doing more HG courses via Webinar.
This is the first time I use Human Given Webinar. I found it very informative. The structure was clear and easy to follow. This will certainly help me in my work with first year university students.
Please thank everyone involved with the human givens approach for making coherent sense of what was, and still is for many people, a right old muddle – it brings all the relevant information about what it is to be human together into a simple whole that enables us to see ourselves and get ourselves together. In an insane age it provides more than a glimmer of human hope.
As a hypnotherapist with plenty of experience of anxiety, I found this to be invaluable and a great addition to my work. packed full with useful guidance. thank you.
Great course. I’ve learned a lot. Clear, useful, encouraging.
