1 What are we doing? We are a UK-wide self harm support organisation called Self injury Support ( We offer support around self harm through a helpline, text service and online information. Over the years we've realised that there are lots of different issues related to self harm such as trauma, hearing voices, having a learning difficulty and many other areas that people want to talk about where there is very little information out there. We want to change this and want to develop information that is by and for people with personal experience of different issues - we'd like to use this survey to gather your views and experiences. You don't have to answer every question - just the ones you feel able to comment on. Filling in the survey will have no impact on your ability to use our services. If you find giving feedback distressing please stop and take a break. If you need to talk to someone about how you're feeling please contact: CASS Women's Self Injury Helpline: M-F 7-10pm Th3-6pm on Samaritans: 24 hours If you have any questions at all please contact: Naomi Salisbury Helpline Co-ordinator naomisalisbury@selfinjurysupport.org.uk Self injury Support PO Box 3240 Bristol BS2 2EF
