<p align="center">AHS has worked with local school divisions to create a protocol to help school staff address non-suicidal self-injury in the school setting. This is commonly referred to as the <strong><em>Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Protocol</em></strong><em>. </em>As part of the protocol, an information sheet was developed to support parents to better understand NSSI and how to support their child with NSSI concerns. <br />
The original version is in English and recently the Calgary Catholic School Board translated this NSSI Parent Information Sheet into a range of languages. They have shared these for your use.</p>
