little do you know

little do you know, that everyone has a story behind there smile. some might be happy, some could be really sad. But all people think is there happy because of there mask they have on there face to cover up the pain. i have been suffering with self-harming since year 7 because of bullying. i wore a mask to cover up the pain that i was going though and i still do, i always have a fake smile but deep down i'm broken. i thought self harm was the only way but i guess not.

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.
