Self harm, or self injury is an action that is not well understood. As educators, it is important for us to know the warning signs of a physically abusive student to prevent possible snowballing futures.

Throughout the website, you will find basic information about self-harm, what it is, how to detect it, why anyone would do harm to themselves, and additional resources to further your own research.

HOWEVER...

This site is not an alternative to a formal diagnosis or self therapy. This is merely a starting point for information. Please, if you or someone you know is participating in self harm, please call upon trained professionals, and in the extreme cases, contact 911.
