Young people who self-harm may not be ready to talk, knowing that you are ready to listen may be the hope they need to hold onto.

Our research considers the experience of young people who self-harm and that of their friends (14-17 years old). Get in touch: [email protected]

Self-harm does not discriminate, anyone can be affected. All experiences are important and must be valued and considered.

Young people may self-harm to manage difficult emotions. However, over time it may lead to more difficult feelings.

Our research study explores feelings and how these change with self-harm among young people (14-17 years old). Get in touch: [email protected]

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.
We know that it can be scary talking to someone about their suicidal feelings, but it really can make a difference.
We've put together some tips to help. #WSPD2020

The reason(s) behind self-harm often change, both within episodes as well as over time. Often people are unsure why they self-harm. It is always better to ask than to assume.
