Our vision
To make sure nobody who struggles with self-harm, in whichever form, fights alone. To break down the stigma surrounding self-harm.
Our mission
We support anybody affected by self-harm: those who self-harm and those supporting them (family, friends and professionals) to make sure they no longer feel alone.
We build better awareness of self-harm's complexity, roots and reasons resulting in anybody affected by self-harm receiving non-judgemental, genuine peer support, acceptance and understanding so they can build a healthier future for themselves.
We educate, influence change and break down the self-harm stigma.
We encourage our service users, volunteers and staff to live life despite the self-harm, to achieve whatever they can manage and continue inspiring others.
We create safe environments where people affected by self-harm can be themselves.

Our values
Acceptance - we accept people as they are and, by fighting the stigma surrounding self-harm, we wish for all of us to be accepted as we are by family, friends, professionals and the general public.
Trust - we build trusting relationships with the people we support, who also trust us with their stories, and the people we work with.
Transparency - we are open and transparent no matter who we work with.
Integrity - we do what we say and never make promises we can't keep.
Compassion - we treat people as we wish to be treated taking into account the hurt, pain and distress they may feel. Because we've been there.
