PROJECT SPEAR A registered charity with a good list of offline resources

HEALING HOUSE A private centre’s site

AMERICAN SELF-HARM CLEARING HOUSE Campaign for self-injury awareness

PSYCH-HELP A huge, supportive mental-health group

The BUS Webring Bodies Under Siege is the biggest circle of self-injury sites I have come across. Sadly many of the sites are now down, and many are red/black and triggery… but if you have time it’s definitely worth a look through.

DOES CUTTING REALLY BRING RELIEF? A very positive article, encouraging self-injurers that there are other (better) ways to deal with life.

ARTICLES ON SELF_INJURY Including what to do if a friend is hurting themselves, and what to expect from therapy.

YOU BLEED TO KNOW YOU’RE ALIVE

HOW AND WHY I STOPPED SELF-HARMING By A.J. Mahari
SELF-INJURY, ABUSE AND TRAUMA RESOURCES DIRECTORY Huge list of resources... definately the top list for self-harm ad related issues on the web. Everything is grouped into categories, so it is easy to find what you want.

SIARI Self-Injury and Related Issues

LifeSIGNS Currently undergoing major updates...

RADIO ONE ESSENTIALS Information, advice and support for self-harmers, their family and friends

FOCUS ADOLESCENT SERVICES Especially useful for the parents of self-harming teenagers. Interesting information on why/ how self-injury ‘works’.

NATIONAL SELF-HARM NETWORK

DEPRESSION ALLIANCE

WHAT’S GOING ON? Funky, well-designed site with information on lots of issues. Good sections on how to seek help, and what to expect.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND SELF-HARM From the National Children’s Bureau

SECRET SHAME Lots of useful and sound advice; the coping sections are particularly good :)

FINDING MY WINGS I think Darcy is wonderful! This page is mostly eating disorder focussed, but she’s so open and honest- please take a look!

KHARRE’S HOME Insightful, personal. I recommend reading her advice.

SELF-INJURY: A STRUGGLE Beautfiul site, lotsa links and info

RAGDOLL’S CANDLE-LIT TUNNEL Always regularly updated, this is a sweet site :) go there cos it’s GREAT!

PSYKE I am putting this link up because there is a lot of useful information on the site... however, there are also some pretty graphic photos of self-harm, and personal stories which are (of course) upsetting to read. It’s meant to help people feel more understood rather than just being depressing, but please be careful!

RED TEARS ARE ONLY LIES Gothic site by a German girl. A bit different to many of the others around

BLOOD RED RAZOR KISSES It’s red, black, has pictures of razors and graphic photos of SI

THAT OLD FAMILIAR STING Ok... so it’s red and black... but it’s still a good site :)

ERROR DUE TO PERSPECTIVE I like their attitude!

SCARS TO MATCH THE INSIDE Who? What? Why? and Help!

A HEALING TOUCH About Self-injury, reasons, myths, self-help, family and friends help, lyrics/ poetry

BLOOD RED Another "Healthy Place" Site

MOSAIC MINDS Understanding SI urges

SECRET SCARS Personally I think some of the information might be a bit dodgy (i.e. putting toothpaste on scars to help them heal!) Having said that, it’s great to see a page focused on bringing self-harmers together for support; there’s a chat room and pen pal options

MIRROR-MIRROR An eating-disorder focussed site, with a self-injury section.

SECRET PAIN Fairly recently updated site with distractions etc.

STARCHART This is a sweet idea- you get stars for meeting SI targets, however it’s affiliated site (myfriend-myenemy) is now down and I’m not sure it’s still being updated.

CUTTING THROUGH THE ISOLATION Hasn’t been updated for years... but I’m leaving up the link because I think she’s amazing at expressing what she feels... it’s the first self-injury site I came across and I really felt understood.
