Self-Injury Support credit to surprising mystery.

Across the UK

All over the UK, there are a variety of groups and services available to help people who are struggling with self-injury, self-harm and their underlying causes. Compared with the number of people who need these services, the numbers are still small – but growing.

Who is listed here?

This list contains information about

self-help groups for self-injury (whether independent or attached to other projects)
services which specialise in self-injury
services which deal with self-injury alongside other issues.

However, if there is no group or service listed in your area, do not despair. Many other local counselling or mental health services may be familiar with self-harm as an issue.

UK-WIDE ORGANISATIONS [/b][/b]

Self Injury Support
Started in 1986 as a feminist collective, Bristol Crisis Service for Women grew into a national charity in the 1990s. Its non-judgmental, non-directive peer-led helpline helped thousands of women feel heard and held in times of crisis. Its groundbreaking research and training helped change how women using self injury were viewed and supported, not just in Bristol but across the UK. In 2014 Bristol Crisis Service for Women changed its name to Self Injury Support to better reflect its purpose … and we’re still going strong.
Helpline: 0808 800 8088 (see website for details of times open and text support)

Lifesigns
LifeSIGNS (Self-Injury Guidance & Network Support) is an online, user-led charitable organisation, founded in 2002 to create understanding about self-injury and provide information and support to people of all ages affected by self-injury across the UK.

National Self-Harm Network
Acute medical and psychiatric service provision is lacking in understanding and treatment of self-harm. Survivor-led organisation, founded in 1994, aims to bridge the huge gulf in understanding, and to campaign for the rights of those who live with self-harm and provide support for people who self-injure, their friends, families and workers. Leaflets and publications have been produced for individuals who self-injure and health care professionals.
