I agree with both parts!

As a former self harmer, I can say there is a severe lack of training and ignorance in casualty departments when it comes to SH. It was a good few years ago but I still cringe at some of the treatment I received. I do think it comes down to lack of adequate training as even those who seem to 'care' looked like they were floundering tbh. It really seemed as though they didn't know what the hell to do or say! I still feel quite angry about it, and of course, sorry for those having to cope with this now.

And yes, you should have agreed a topic and had more contact before now! You simply should not be left to start without both agreeing a topic and discussing things like ethics! Are they actually expecting you to start it before you have agreed a topic? If so then I'd be asking for a different tutor too.

Good luck with it.

I'm doing my Education Studies dissertation on self harm and it is really interesting, there is masses of stuff written on it over the last few years.

That's interesting jendifa. Is it from an education point of view you have been looking at it?

OP - thinking about the nutrition idea, that is very topical at the moment too which is always good. You may want to focus on a particular group though to make it more manageable - say the elderly, or stroke patients for example.
