This BSL video is designed to give you an overview of who we and and what we do. We hope you find it helpful in navigating our website.

At Self-Harm Network Scotland, we define self-harm as any non-accidental behaviour which causes or has the potential to cause harm to a person. Watch this video to find out more.

There is a stigma associated with self-harm that people who self-harm are suicidal. While we know that anyone who is experiencing extreme distress could be at risk of suicide, we also know that it is not always the case that everyone who self-harms feels suicidal. Watch this video to learn more.

At Self-Harm Network Scotland, we champion lived experience and peer support. What’s special about our service is that when you reach out, you will be getting support from a peer practitioner who understands what you are going through. Watch this video to find out more about the importance of peer support.

At Self-Harm Network Scotland, we provide person-centred recovery focused support for people who self-harm. We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, and we are committed to supporting you on your individual recovery journey. Watch this video to find out more.
