Understand the basics of self-harm

Self-harm is when you hurt yourself on purpose, usually because you're going through a tough time emotionally and it helps you to feel better. Self-harm is a challenging and difficult experience that can be very frightening and isolating. It's common to feel alone, ashamed, and overwhelmed when struggling with self-harm.

You should never feel the need to manage your self-harm alone, feel free to reach out to a trusted friend or family member, mental health professional, or support service such as 7Cups.

Please see an attached link with a variety of alternatives. However I encourage anyone comfortable to share the ones that they have seen work the best!
