Helpful websites

Understanding self-injury
Adolescent Self Injury Foundation
Information for people who injure themselves, and for friends and parents so you can better understand self-injury and get help for someone you know who self-injures.
HelpGuide.org: Cutting and self-harm
Learn how to feel better without injuring yourself, when to seek professional treatment, how to recognize when a loved one is self-injuring, and how to help a loved one who is self-injuring.
Mind: Self-harm
Learn what self-injury is, why people injure themselves, how you can help yourself now, how you can help yourself in the future, what support and treatment is available, and what friends and family can do to help.
Coping skills and alternatives to self-injury
Buddy Project: Alternatives
Find alternatives to self-injury based on what need you're trying to fill, whether it be because you're feeling angry, frustrated, restless, sad, depressed or unhappy. There are also alternative ideas in case you need to feel something or want to see scars.
TeenHelp.org: Alternatives to self-harm
More alternatives to self-injury based on what need you're trying to fill, like Buddy Project's Alternatives, and adds alternatives for those who self-injure to distract themselves, to take up time, or because they are feeling scared or have other reasons they self-injure.
The Butterfly Project
The Butterfly Project is an alternative to self-harming by taking a marker and drawing a butterfly on the area where the self-harm usually occurs. You then name the butterfly after someone you love and care about a lot. You must let the butterfly fade naturally; if you self-harm before it fades, the butterfly dies.
Supporting a loved one who self-injures
TeensHealth: How can I help a friend who cuts?
Learn how to support your friend by being informed, managing your feelings, finding ways to help, discovering things to avoid, and knowing what to do if your friend rejects help.
