We at Hope for Harm are proud to be one of the many services aiming to support people with their mental health struggles and hopefully prevent suicide. There is always hope ๐ค
@missgemcollins@HarmlessUK As a service in Cornwall for adults who self-harm, weโd like to thank you for your courage in sharing your experience and raising awareness and understanding about self-harm @missgemcollins. Iโm sure it has helped many.
Itโs not too often self-harm is discussed in the media so this is really encouraging. Weโre looking forward to watching this tomorrow night on Channel 4 ๐

Weโve been a bit quiet lately, busy getting things in place to begin offering our counselling services. We're delighted to announce that we've been awarded a grant from #TheNationalLotteryCommunity Fund towards some fully funded counselling places! Thank you!
For a realistic and harrowing insight into deteriorating mental health, demonstrating how โhaving it allโ is no protection, we highly recommend โI am Victoriaโ on C4. Here is a review by Radio Times.

There are 5 Ways to Well-being: Connect, Be Active, Give, Take Notice and Learn. What can you do today to take care of your mental well-being? Weโre going to โget activeโ and โtake noticeโ by playing some old records and having a bit of a dance ๐บ๐
It is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is 'Connect with Nature' - getting outside is majorly beneficial to our mental wellbeing. We live in such a beautiful area! Hereโs a pic from my walk this weekend - it would be amazing to see some of your nature pics this week :)
Respect to Edele for speaking out about her mental health struggles, particularly with self-harm which began in her 40s. It really can affect anyone at any age. Help is available.

Understanding why we self-harm can be a major step forward in helping us to have self-compassion. Our specialised counselling service can provide the space to explore ๐ #selfharm#MentalHealthMatters#MentalHealthAction
It is sad but heartening to read what Dame Kelly Holmes says about her mental health battles which includes self-harm. It can affect any one of us and we commend her for having the courage to talk openly about this.

This image shows how our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and behaviours are linked and can feed each other, keeping us in a Vicious Cycle. This is especially true of self-harm! Our services can help break this cycle #selfharm#MentalHealthAwareness#BeKind#mentalhealth
Having watched the Caroline Flack programme, it is heartbreaking to hear her Mum speak of the shame and desperation Caroline felt at the thought of anyone knowing that she self-harmed. If you self-harm, please know that there are people who get it ๐
This statistic reminds us that self-harm is an issue that affects all genders and all ages - there is no โtypicalโ person who self-harms. Please get in touch if you need support #MentalHealthMatters#MenToo
