Self-harm can be a difficult issue for carers to address. Recognising the signs of self-harm, such as unexplained cuts or bruises, is crucial. A carer’s response should be:
- Non-judgmental: Approach the individual with empathy and understanding.
- Encouraging open communication: Talk to the person about their feelings and provide support.
- Seeking professional help: Ensure that appropriate healthcare professionals are involved in managing the situation.
By understanding and responding effectively, carers can help individuals cope with their emotional challenges and find healthier ways to manage their distress.
