Self-Injury
Groups:

 |
We
are currently accepting referrals for group work
with 13-15 year olds.
The
self-injury team are currently supporting young
people age 16+ in individual therapy.
What
do we understand about self-injury?
We see it as a way of coping with any difficulties
and distress a young person maybe experiencing in
their lives. A number of young people self-injure
for many different reasons.
|
What
is the group about?
 |
The group aims to bring young people together
to share and explore their self-injury in a safe
supportive environment.
It also aims to enable you to gain a greater understanding
of your self injury and how past experiences and
feelings are linked to it.
|
We
will also look at vulnerable times and feelings
and situations that affect it.
Through
exploration and support the hope is to help you
to increase your coping strategies and find safe
alternatives.
|
How
do I get involved?
You can ring us yourself or you can ask someone to
ring us on your behalf, parent, teachers, mentors,
support workers or a friend.
What will happen next?
We will invite you in for a chat to discuss the group
and check out your needs and if it fits what your
looking for. If it doesn't then that is fine. If it
does we will give you the date when the next group
starts. |

Young
people's comments about the group:
“What I found helpful was the art, expressing myself
and doing things I wouldn’t normally do.”
