What to do if you've been affected by watching Sharp Objects TV show

Have you been watching Sharp Objects show on HBO? It's apparently a really interesting drama that has been named as "one of HBO’s most acclaimed shows of the year." It's based on a book by an author called Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the book 'Gone Girl' (which you may have also heard of). Whilst it might be interesting, it also features a number of graphic self-harm scenes, which we want you to stay safe if you choose to watch. To help with this, we've given some advice in the article below about what to do if you've been affected by watching the show. You can read it here.

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.
