Today is #SelfInjuryAwarenessDay, so we're sharing some of the misconceptions about self-harm collected from our audience 🧡
There are lots of reasons why people self-harm and it looks different for everyone. There is no one typical person who hurts themselves.
📺 We spoke to @PaulJ_PHS and @MichaelMarmot at the Collaboration for Health Equity in Scotland launches, held in #Aberdeen, #Saltcoats and #Hamilton, to hear about the exciting initiative and how it will help reduce health inequalities.
