Meet Asher - a teenager who self-harms to manage their feelings when it
all feels like too much.
The latest in the best-selling Can I Tell You About... series
describes what self-harm is, along with the wide range of behaviours
that qualify, why teens do it, and how to get help if you feel the need
to self-harm. Reflecting on the different aspects of self-harming
behaviour, including treatment of injuries and scars, this concise
introduction dispels common myths and offers helpful resources to break
the cycle of self-harm. By initiating the conversation around self-harm,
this guide will offer alternative avenues for children and young adults
to pursue when dealing with big feelings, such as professional
counselling, distraction, and friends and family.
This easy-to-read guide is suitable for readers 7+, along with their
parents, teachers, and friends. All author royalties from the book will
go towards the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust.
