Self-Harm

Distressing thoughts or feelings can overwhelm anyone. When this happens, it often seems difficult to know what to do or how to cope. Talking through our worries to people we trust generally helps us to manage painful emotions. Yet, this isn’t always easy or straightforward. If you struggle to communicate how you feel, self-harm can seem like it’s the only way to express things which might be too hard or challenging to speak about. But you aren’t alone in feeling this way, and there is help available to stop this self-destructive behaviour.
