March 

Self Harm Awareness Month

 

Self-Injury is a deliberate, non-suicidal behavior that inflicts physical harm on one’s body to relieve emotional distress. 

It’s important to note that self-injury does not involve a conscious intent to die by suicide – and as such, the clinical term for this behavior is called Non-Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI). NSSI can take many forms from cutting, picking, burning, bruising, puncturing, embedding, scratching or hitting one’s self, just to name a few.

 

KEY POINTS

  • Self-Injury is clinically called Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and is often used to managed stress.
  • NSSI is most common among adolescents and young adults, and the age of onset is between 12 and 14 years.
  • Finding adaptive ways to express and endure challenges is the goal of treating NSSI.

March 30th is World Bipolar day.

 

The vision of World Bipolar Day (WBD) is to bring world awareness to bipolar disorders and to eliminate social stigma and discrimination.  Through international collaboration, the goal of WBD is to bring diverse populations around the world information about bipolar disorders that will educate and improve sensitivity towards the illness, including access to the latest research and the best treatments.
