We can never truly know what it’s like to walk in each other’s shoes, but, we can listen and show empathy.

This is so true for those living with hidden disabilities!

Let's stop the stigma!!

Today is Self-Harm Awareness Day. Understanding how to have conversations about self-harm is really important in reducing the stigma that can be a huge barrier to people opening up and getting support with it.

We know lots of people find it difficult to know the right thing to say if someone they care about is self-harming, so we’ve put together some tips to help you have that conversation.

1. Do your best to stay calm.
Reacting in anger might shut down important conversations. It’s normal to feel a range of emotions, but acting with care and kindness could help someone feel safe to open up.

2. Listen.

Really the most important thing is to listen, you don’t have to solve anything. The thing people mostly need is to be able to talk about how they’re feeling.

3. Let them know you won’t judge.

The stigma around self-harm causes embarrassment and shame, you might find someone ends up being apologetic. Let them know there’s nothing to apologise for and you’re there to help. 5/

4. Acknowledge their feelings.

Self-harm is a sign of serious emotional distress. Asking questions about how someone is feeling might help them feel heard and more comfortable opening up.

5. Show you care.

Feeling listened to and cared for can help someone recover. Let them know you’re there if they need to talk more.
