Non-Suicidal Self Injury or Self Harm
Cutting and Other Forms of Self Harm
If you or someone you know is at risk of self harm or is currently self-harming please contact a counsellor immediately.
Some teens are troubled by frequent intense and painful emotions. While some are able to deal with these feelings, others react differently to their problems because they have not been taught ways to handle their emotions effectively. They are unable to find the words and the buildup of feelings makes it difficult for them to think clearly. Some teens release this bottleneck by cutting or burning or otherwise hurting themselves.
Self injury provides immediate relief, but this is a short-term solution with serious consequences.
