Our Edinburgh Self-Harm Support Service can offer you practical and emotional support if you’re experiencing self-harm. The service is for people aged 16 and over in Edinburgh.
How does it work?
We offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore how self-harm is affecting you. We’ll work with you to manage and identify alternative coping strategies. We can support your loved ones and carers too. Our team will work with you using recovery tools to discover what matters to you, to develop skills and strategies to help you maintain good wellbeing, and to connect into meaningful community resources. Many of our team members have lived experience of recovery in mental health and bring that insight to support you on your journey.
How to access support
If you’d like to access support, all you need to do is send us a completed referral form. This is called self-referral. Please let us know if you need any support in completing the form.
If you’re referring someone for support, please send us the completed referral form and risk assessment.
