Camps are increasingly seeing campers engage in self-harm and grappling with how to respond. From disordered eating to cutting, these dangerous behaviors put camps in a precarious situation - that a camper may be seriously harmed, and that camp may be held responsible. Led by a camp safety lawyer, this session will explore the topic of self-harm at camp through a trauma-informed legal lens and provide camp leaders with practical, empathetic response strategies that balance support for the camper in need with legal compliance considerations.
