Abstract
This study examined experiences with and knowledge of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among a multistate sample of 111 vocational rehabilitation (VR) support staff. Over 80% of support staff reported working with clients who had expressed thoughts or behaviors related to NSSI, with over 15% doing so at least once a month. However, only about a quarter (27.0%) reported having received training on NSSI. Participants generally scored well on three true/false NSSI knowledge items but also demonstrated some gaps in knowledge. Support staff commonly work with individuals with NSSI in VR settings but may benefit from additional training and support in this area.
