self harm is an addiction
be kind to yourself: once you get your head around how addictions work and see that your harming is an addiction, it is easier to be kind to yourself. no-one tells an alcoholic juts to stop, they put things in place to help them. if you have an addiction you are encouraged to talk about it, find a safe place to go to to get help. that's what the alumina sessions are here for: to be your safe place.

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.
