This series of books is based on 7 years of research into Self-injury, with national epidemiological studies as well as longitudinal studies.
Self-injury can be a confusing behaviour, and it can be really worrying when someone you know self-injures. This guide was developed to help parents and families understand self-injury, and find some effective ways to intervene.
In preparing this guide we consulted families, health care professionals and parents of young people who self-injure, as well as the young people themselves. In this way, we have gained a good understanding of self-injury, and what young people want from people who care about them. The booklet explains self-injury and provides useful tips and resources for parents and family members. We hope you benefit from the information we provide.
