 sents:*\n\n*Dr Martina Di Simplicio* will present a talk on \nthe proof-of
 -concept trial "Imaginator" investigating a brief psychological therapy fo
 r self-harm in young people. Self-harm is a common transdiagnostic behavio
 r in adolescents and young people\, and repetitive self-harm is a risk fac
 tor for future psychopathology.\n\nAdmissions following self-harm in Cambr
 idgeshire in a 2015 county survey were reported as higher than the nationa
