Just A Reminder

Self-harm is not just cutting. Self-harm is done in anyway which inflicts pain or discomfort. I didn't think what I did, of the many things I did, was self-harm. Cutting, punching walls, digging nails into the palms of your hands, slapping a rubber band on your wrists, starving yourself, etc. These are all forms of self harm and there are may more. Please don't stereotype self-harm as just cutting, this may make others feel inferior. With love and care - M

ALUMINA

Alumina is a free, online 7 week course for young people struggling with self-harm. Each course has up to 8 young people, all accessing the sessions from their own phones, tablets or laptops across the UK. The courses take place on different evenings of the week and are run by friendly, trained counsellors and volunteer youth workers. You don’t need an adult to refer you or sign you up, and no-one will see or hear you during the sessions – you’ll just join in via the chatbox. We want to help you to find your next steps towards recovery, wherever you are on your journey.
