I know this seems like an odd topic to bring up on NSC but I'm a bit desperate. Ive recently found out that a family member has been self harming (cutting) for a couple of years. The 'harmer's' mother is beside herself with worry and at a loss as to what to do. So far her GP's not been much help and any help offered by NHS mental health is aimed directly at the 'harmer' who is refusing to talk about it and therefore refusing to seek help.
The mother really needs some kind of support group for parents of self harmers to point her in the right direction as to how to deal with it and offer some support.
I've searched in the internet but can't find anything in the Brighton area that offers this and rung numerous numbers but with no joy.
Does anyone have experience of this and if so where did you go for help.
I appreciate that people may not want to 'go public' on this but if you do have any ideas please pm me.
Thank you all.
