Synopsis

When you discover your child is self-harming, the fear can be overwhelming. You're not alone, and there is hope.
Self-harm among young people is more common than most parents realize, affecting around one in four teenagers. Yet when it's your child, it can feel like an impossible challenge to navigate.

This comprehensive guide takes you beyond the crisis moment to understand what self-harm really is, why young people turn to it, and most importantly, how families can work together toward recovery. You'll learn practical strategies for having difficult conversations, managing crisis situations, and supporting your whole family through the journey.

Drawing on insights from young people themselves, mental health research, and years of experience in the field, this book provides the understanding and tools you need to help your child develop healthier ways of coping with life's challenges.

  • How to have the first conversation about self-harm
  • Understanding the cycle and how to break it
