Blogging for our new mental health website

Hi!

Here at SelfharmUK, we're going to be having a bit of makeover soon! 

Exciting right!? 

Not only will we have a new name, a new logo, and a new image, but we'll also have new content aiming to provide clear, informed online advice and support around mental and emotional health and wellbeing for young people aged 11-19. As we look to broaden out our content from self-harm, the aims of this new website are to provide young people with a positive, knowledgeable online space to:

  • understand the importance of emotional health
  • learn what it means to stay emotionally healthy and understand how to do this
  • know where to get what type of help if there is a problem  
  • challenge the stigma around mental health and help to promote recovery

Sound good? Find out how can you get involved!

If you have a passion for young people and raising awareness about mental health, enjoy writing and want to inspire others with your words, we want to hear from you! We'll be posting blogs on the new website every week, so if you think you'd like to be involved, please contact Jess Whittaker to find out more information.

On your marks... Get set... BLOG!

ALUMINA

Alumina is a free, online 7 week course for young people struggling with self-harm. Each course has up to 8 young people, all accessing the sessions from their own phones, tablets or laptops across the UK. The courses take place on different evenings of the week and are run by friendly, trained counsellors and volunteer youth workers. You don’t need an adult to refer you or sign you up, and no-one will see or hear you during the sessions – you’ll just join in via the chatbox. We want to help you to find your next steps towards recovery, wherever you are on your journey.
