Supporting anybody affected by self-harm
Welcome to Battle Scars. We are a small, dedicated, 100% survivor-led and run charity offering local, regional, national as well as international support around self-harm.
Self-harm is far more widespread and complex than most people think. It's also mostly hidden and often judged due to the stigma attached to it. Our aim is to break down this stigma, raise awareness, dispel the myths and support those affected by self-harm irrelevant of gender, age, background and location.

Creation of new mental health hub - Leeds 11 Battle Scars have the exciting opportunity to set up the new Onward Mental Health Hub in South Leeds and are looking for partners to come into the building. We also want to hear from people who may use it or have interest in mental health and would like to share their views about what is on offer within the hub. Please click on image for more information on the project, information on the consultations (both F2F and virtual) and the survey to submit your views and ideas. The aim is to create a welcoming, safe environment with a variety of services to support mental health and wellbeing. |
We have various online and printed resources to help understand and manage self-harm, support organisations, encourage people who struggle with self-harm to reach out and build a robust support networks.
