Self harm.. (2)

1 Name: Lindsay : 2014-06-27 17:21 ID:qrjjLGzz [Del]

Hi there!
Recently i've been seeing more and more self harming problems within the broad group of people i know. All that i know for sure to do is to support my friends, but this problem seems to be growing and i was wondering for some advice on how else can i help. The situation that most of them have is very obvious, as i see scars and such appear regularly. I want to know how i can be the best help for them without budding in their private life and doing drastic things.
Thankyou 'u'

I think with this sort of thing the best thing you can do for them is offer your support :) Just let them know you're there for them and perhaps encourage them to talk to you or maybe even see a counselor or someone of the same effect :)I find for a lot of the people I know just having someone to talk to is a big help~
I can't really give any further advice because each person is individual and each individual person needs to be addressed differently but as I say the most important thing is that they know they aren't alone and that they have someone to turn to, if anything else happens to spring to mind to help them then it's probably worth a shot :) I really hope you manage to help :3
