Let the young person know that you have noticed their injuries or other suspicious signs. Avoid expressing a strong negative reaction to the self-injury and discuss it calmly with them. It is important that you have reflected on your own state of mind and are sure you are prepared to calmly deal with their answer when asking the person about their self-injury.
Many people sees self-injury as a coping mechanism, on this backdrop, stopping self injury should not be the focus of the conversation. Instead, look at alternative ways to relieve the distress. Do not trivialize the feelings or situations which have led to the self-injury. Do not abuse or penalize the person, especially by threatening to withdraw care.
Millions are injuring themselves and don't know it and wont listen.
People who engage in non-suicidal self-injury do so for many reason:
▪To exert influence over others
▪To punish themselves.
Well, if the injury is life threatening or if they have bleeding that is rapid or pulsing emergency medical help must be sought.
