Self harm?

Hello, My name is Tania and I work in an all girls group home. I was wondering if you could give me some documentation on self harm and intervention methods that I could try with one of the girls I work with?

Thanks for your attention; I am hoping to hear from you soon.

A great resource on the topic of self-harm in terms of research and information is called:

A Bright Red Scream

Hi Tania

Suggest you have a look at this Cornell site http://www.crpsib.com/whatissi.asp

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/self_injury.htm

Check out the above website. If you go under Google (or any other engine) type in "self-harm" or "self-injurious behaviors" and several websites will come up.

Have a good one...

Hi,

I found The truth about self harm: or young people and their friends and family by Celia Richardson quite good.

Hello. In addition to the helpful suggestions here, I also recommend the Interdisciplinary National Self-Injury in Youth Network Canada
http://www.insync-group.ca/professionals.php

This website includes a number of useful resources for youth, family members and professionals. It also includes recent research on the topic.

Hope you find this useful.

Cheers
