Self-Harm Awareness - FTU

Self-harm is on a rise. We don't think of it much but always

relate back to suicide. What is the difference between self-harm

and suicide? This is MY knowledge between the two

Self-harm is a deliberate injury caused by self but without

intention of taking one's life. It is a call for help. Method

used to commit injury can cause harm but won't take life away.

Suicide is intentional act to take life way. 

There are so many reasons self-harm is on the rise. If

you experience a friend/family member going through changes

outside their normal, they are giving clues to others. Self-harm

may be attempted several times without notice so the next step

would be suicide. Listen to what friends/family are saying

BUT pay close attention to what is NOT being spoken
