VIDEO: Talking about Self-Harm

Here’s a helpful video about self-harm produced by Mind, a mental health charity

The video includes people talking about their experiences of self-harm, the reasons behind their self-harm and how they’ve learned to cope. They also talk about how they think friends and family could have supported them.
