FReSH START

#selfharm has different functions for different people, and understanding this is central to the @FReSHSTART_UK approach to therapy. This #SIAD we wanted to highlight some of the many factors behind #selfharm, identified by people with #livedexperience as part of our #research.

FReSH START is now on Bluesky! 🦋 You can find us here: bsky.app/profile/freshs…
