Faces In Focus

Do you know anyone who struggles with self harm? Please share this with them ♡︎

How to avoid self-harm:

-Try talking about your feelings to a friend, family member, trained volunteer, or a Counsellor.. You can contact Samaritans on 116 123 or email [email protected] if you need someone to talk to.

- Try working out if feeling a certain way leads to your self-harm – for example, when you're feeling sad or anxious, you could try expressing that emotion in a safer way.

-Try waiting before you consider self-harm – distract yourself by going out for a walk, listening to music, or doing something else harmless that interests you; the need to self-harm may begin to pass over time.

-Try calming/ breathing exercises or other things you find relaxing to reduce feelings of anxiety.

-Write down your feelings. No one else needs to see it
