What is Self-Harm?
Self-Harm also known as Self-Abuse, is a pervasive and chronic problem among
people of all ages and both genders. For many years it has been considered
difficult, if not impossible, to help people end this behaviour. People who
repeatedly self-injure (cutting, burning and non-lethal overdosing, etc.) are
often in and out of psychiatric hospitals without much benefit. But there is
hope for positive change using the model of care developed by Mary Graham and
S.A.F.E. in Canada.
Although developed in a community context, the model can be adapted for
in-patient, groups or individuals.
