Facebook peer support group
"I have the most amazing support from the Facebook group, it has really helped to reduce my instances of self-harm so much"
​Do you need people who truly understand what you’re going through?
Do you feel isolated, judged, or like no one “gets it”?
Are you looking for support to manage self-harm and the challenges that come with it?
Do you want to share your “small” achievements with people who know just how big they really are?
Our self-harm peer support group on Facebook is a safe, supportive community for anyone affected by self-harm — whether you struggle yourself or support someone who does. Here, you can talk openly, express what’s going on inside, and connect with others who understand, without judgment or pressure.

Parents, partners, friends, and carers are also welcome. You’ll find empathy, encouragement, and practical ideas for supporting someone you care about.

This group is moderated to keep it safe and respectful, and it’s open worldwide — so you can find support whenever you need it, wherever you are.

"The Facebook group is very friendly and even though I haven’t had the confidence to post much I have found it very helpful in reading other’s stories and the advice given as it can be relatable"
This is a private Facebook group (only members can see posts) for anybody, anywhere in the world. This group DOES NOT promote self-harm but it does promote acceptance. Members post and comment and other members offer what support they feel able to provide.  
​
​​This is a peer support group and is not run by professionals.​
"Comments are not judgemental and I can relate to many situations that the groups members are going through. Don't feel alone with my stuff"
