Image shows 3 orange speech bubbles on a white background, with small pictures of knives, razor blades and a first aid kit. It is overlaid with text which reads ‘Safe self-harm kit. Proven to reduce, rather than encourage, self-harming behaviour. What is it? A bag or box containing the items a person uses to self-harm as well as items to make the act of self-harming as safe as possible. Why Do We Encourage It? Safety: it reduces the risk of infection from self-harming; Control: it encourages the owner to take control of their behaviour; Responsibility: of looking after wounds and taking ownership; Self-care: encouraging care of own injuries. REMEMBER There is NO safe self-harm with overdoses, self-poisoning, similar internal self-harm and ligatures.’ The website link at the bottom is www.battle-scars-self-harm.org.uk
