We are sorry that we are still having problems with our email service (8th March) It is being looked into and we are hoping for it to be back working very soon. Thank you for your patience.

We believe:

  • Lots of girls and young women self-injure

  • People self-injure for lots of different reasons

  • Self-injury can be a way of dealing with things that are difficult in life

  • A person will change or stop their self-injury when they are ready to and not before

  • It can be helpful to understand your reasons for self-injury and what it means to you.

  • There are no right anweres or single solutions to self-injury, different things work for different people.
