Perspectives on Self-Harm During Coronavirus

There are a lot of really thoughtful and thought-provoking blogs being written just now about self-harm in times of crisis and lockdown and what that means for different people. We wanted to share as many of them as possible here, as we feel it's an especially important topic when people are more isolated than ever, and we are hearing from a lot of people who are struggling with increased self-harm and thoughts of self-harm during the current crisis.

Self-care and Self Advocacy in Lockdown

Urges and the need to self-harm do not go away due to extraordinary external events. We always encourage people to seek medical help for self-harm if needed, however, we also want to be realistic and recognise that even before the current situation, many people did not seek help for self-harm and that currently there are a range of reasons why people may choose to treat self-harm themselves.
