The groups meet every four weeks and are ongoing. No referral is required, please just turn up. Service users can attend as many groups as they wish within the 4 weeks. 
The aims of the groups are:
  • To provide a safe space for people who self-harm to express themselves without fear of judgement, to explore their emotions with peer support and get a better understanding of their self-harm.
  • To ensure people who self-harm do not feel isolated and lessen the despair often felt.
  • To help people who self-harm feel better about themselves, to increase their self-esteem and confidence, to engage in peer support, to help and be helped.
  • To remove the stigma from self-harm.
  • To help family, friends and carers of people who self-harm to get a better understanding of self-harm, express their emotions, receive support, alleviate isolation and the feelings of despair they may experience.
  • To help anybody who is interested get a better understanding of the issues surrounding self-harm by partaking in discussions with survivors.

​Please read the testimonials for service user and training attendee comments.
