It’s March 1st and in honor of this day, HPD would like to shed some light on Self-Injury Awareness Day. This is also known as self-harm or self-mutilation which is the act of deliberately harming oneself as a way to cope by cutting, burning, scratching, and/or hitting. If you or anyone you know engages in self-injury, we encourage you to seek help and support to find healthier ways to cope with your emotional pain, distress, and trauma.
