The Mental Health Foundation have an online booklet entitled ‘The Truth About Self-Harm’

This online booklet is for anyone who wants to understand self-harm among young people - why it happens, how to deal with it, and how to recover from what can be come a very destructive cycle.

Self-harm can be difficult to understand – both for those who do it and also for those who care about them.

It is also a subject that has not received much attention up until now, and is still treated as ‘taboo’ by many.
