On Self Injury Awareness Day, the District of Columbia Psychological Association recognizes the importance of awareness, compassion, and support for those experiencing emotional distress.

Self injury is often a sign of deeper emotional pain and a need for support. By increasing understanding and reducing stigma, we can help create a community where individuals feel safe seeking care and connection.

Psychologists in the DC community remain committed to promoting mental health and supporting pathways toward healing.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline.
