Helping young people who self-harm
Abstract
Key learning points: For many young people, the function of self-harm is to escape an unbearable emotional state; relief and negative feelings experienced following self-harm can result in a cycle of self-harming behaviour; safety planning is an essential intervention to help young people and their families manage and reduce self-harm.
