Self-Injury Support Group
Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.

Does anybody have experience with it. Did they feel it worked or maked a difference. Also, how to find one.

yep - i'm currently going through group therapy - and it does help to know that there are other people of the same age as me going through the same thing. i'm not far into it, so i couldn't tell you if it works or not, but i do think it's a positive experience

i'm going through group therapy too. it's not specifically for people with self-injury problems, just for helping people with mental illness get back into the community. for me it helps because i get to be in an environment where people are being themselves and expressing their real feelings. i'd never had that kind of experience before. my psychiatrist referred me there, and the therapist that i'm seeing recommended that i go to a Cognitive Behavioral group at the clinic. if you are doing individual therapy, maybe they can tell you about some groups...or if there's a local crisis/help line, maybe they know of some.
