What is the Butterfly Project?

The butterfly project is you draw or someone you care about draws a butterfly on your arm/wrist to prevent self harm.

butterfly project is quiet helpful in order to deal with self harm, in this project you draw butterflies on the spots where you usually hurt yourself, and name those butterflies after some loved ones, if the butterflies start fading you redraw them. so when you decide to hurt your self again and you see the butterfly it reminds you of that loved one and you are less likely to hurt yourself,

The Butterfly Project is a technique to help overcome urges to self-injure. Instead of self-harming, the person uses a pen to draw a butterfly on their skin in the place they would normally harm. The aim is to keep the butterfly "alive" for as long as possible - any self-harm will "kill" the butterfly, and you have to start over again. There are different variations of the same principle, some people give the butterflies names (names of loved ones for example), or ask loved ones to draw the butterflies on. The idea is to replace something painful and unhealthy with something beautiful, that you can care for, cherish, and nurture.

Draw a butter fly on your place you want to cut and write a name. If you cut it the butterfly dies..

The butterfly project was created to help people struggling with self-harm to use short-term goal setting as a strategy for stopping/reducing self-harm. There are many variations to the project, including drawing a butterfly in various stages, having love ones draw your butterflies, and writing loved ones names by your butterflies. The goal is to draw a butterfly on your body and not harm until it's worn off (a few days). This is a very helpful strategy for some people, but for others it makes them feel worse if they do end up harming, or it has no effect on them and is unhelpful. Feel free to try this strategy and see if it works for you. While you are trying not to harm, it is also useful to implement other coping skills like distractions, grounding techniques, and positive affirmations in order to better succeed in going a few days without hurting yourself.

The Butterfly Project is an amazing program created to help spread the word of self harm. Typically, a person who suffers from self harm will draw a butterfly on their wrist or wherever they normally harm.. This would be a constant reminder to "not kill the butterfly" encouraging them to quit self harm. The message has spread to people all over the world and you can see many with butterflies drawn on their wrists to spread awareness. This is an amazing cause that I would encourage anyone to take part in.

The butterfly project is a project set up for self harmers who are hoping to stop. Every time the person feels the need to cut, instead they will draw a butterfly on the place they want to harm. Once the butterfly is drawn, it is their job to keep it alive by not self harming. If they are to self harm, the butterfly "dies" and they start once more.

The Butterfly Project is when you feel the need to cut or self harm, take a pen or marker and draw a butterfly on your hand or arm. Name the butterfly after a loved one or someone who wants you to get better. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off. If you cut or self harm before the butterfly fades, you've killed it. If you don't cut, it lives!

actually this is one of my favorites because it helped me a lot the butterfly project is a project designed to help those who have problems with self harm the way it works is that you draw butterflies on the spot where you would normally hurt yourself and these butterflies represent someone who you love or care about you can even have someone draw them for you but if you cut at all you kill the butterfly meaning you hurt that person by cutting

The butterfly project has been created to help self harmers. Instead of where you'd hurt yourself you'd draw a butterfly and if the butterfly fades without you self harming it means it has flown away
