“…It is possible other forms of self-harm may elicit different forms of stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination. This has already been demonstrated in research that has shown counselling students view self-poisoning more negatively than self-cutting (Fox, 2016). This seems particularly relevant when considering gender, as some methods of self-harm (such as burning) are more typical of men than women and vice versa (Claes et al, 2007).…”

Purpose Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is reasonably common, particularly among young people with prevalence rates of up to 25 per cent reported. Many factors contribute towards NSSI, including depression, anxiety and history of abuse and NSSI is a risk factor for suicide. Many people who engage in NSSI do not seek help, potentially due to concern about sigmatising attitudes. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of gender and disclosure on stigmatising attitudes towards individuals who engage in NSSI. Design/methodology/approach Participants were 384 first-year university students (77.4 per cent female; mean age 19.50 years (SD=3.53)) who completed measures of stigmatising attitudes in response to vignettes featuring individuals who engaged in self-harming behaviour. Vignettes varied in the gender of the individual as well as whether the NSSI was disclosed or not. Findings The results support the attribution model of public discrimination in relation to NSSI stigma. Perceptions of higher personal responsibility for NSSI behaviour and higher levels of danger and manipulation were positively associated with stigmatizing attitudes and behaviours. Male research participants reported significantly higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes and behaviours than females. Social implications The level of stigmatising attitudes towards individuals who engage in NSSI is significant and may impact on help-seeking behaviour. Originality/value Between 10 and 25 per cent of adolescents engage in some form of NSSI, but only a minority seek help to address this behaviour. This study suggests that attitudes by peers may influence help-seeking. Further research is required outside of tertiary education settings.

“…Indeed, previous research has elucidated some attitudinal components of this student group. For example, counselling students had relatively positive attitudes (i.e., empathetic rather than judgemental) towards self-harm in their clients (Fox, 2016), while their attitudes towards people with special needs became more negative during an undergraduate counselling programme in Turkey (Batik, 2018). Counselling trainees were hesitant about receiving personal therapy, required by the British Psychological Society, to become a counselling psychologist (Kumari, 2011).…”

As mental health awareness increases, more students enrol to therapeutic subjects, aspiring to help others' mental wellbeing. While mental health of other caring students has been explored, therapeutic students' mental health has not been investigated thoroughly. This study aimed to explore relationships between mental health, mental health attitudes, selfcriticism/self-reassurance, self-compassion, and caregiver identity of counselling and occupational therapy students. One hundred forty-five students, recruited through opportunity sampling, completed measures about those constructs. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that their mental health was associated with attitudes, self-criticism/self-reassurance and self-compassion. Self-criticism and internal shame were independent predictors of mental health. Findings will inform the mental health status of therapeutic students and help identify better solutions for their challenging mental health.

“…Di tingkat sekolah dasar, layanan bimbingan dapat membantu siswa mengadopsi sikap positif dan pengembangan keterampilan untuk memiliki karir yang sukses. Layanan bimbingan juga memberi siswa kesempatan untuk mematuhi aturan sosial dan kehidupan profesional itu sendiri (Fox, 2016). Sejalan dengan hal tersebut, tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan hasil program bimbingan dan konseling dalam meningkatkan keterampilan sosial siswa di SD TMIP.…”
