A recent study found that 43% of young people know someone who has self-harmed. However, one in four would not know what to say to a friend who was self-harming. In addition to this frightening statistic, 4,400 people end their own lives in England each year ñ thatÃs one death every two hours. This book deals with the highly-emotive topics of self-harm and suicide in a sensitive and carefully thought-out manner, using up-to-date statistics and real-life experiences. It also examines coping mechanisms for those who self-harm and looks at methods of suicide prevention and intervention.
