Children's Mental Health Handbook 3: Self-Harm Behaviors "Hospital staff believe that our treatment is a waste of time because they think energy should be focused on those who do not intentionally harm themselves." "Even if you cannot control everything that happens around you, you can control your own behavior." In real life, most young people who engage in self-harm are misunderstood by others, including parents, teachers, peers, and even medical workers who treat them. So, what exactly is self-harm? Why do teenagers, at such a young age, resort to cutting themselves? Does such behavior lead to suicide? And what signs of self-harm should we be aware of? Children's Mental Health Handbook 3: Self-Harm Behaviors provides facts and guidance for anyone living around children and adolescents.
