My daughter is in her early teens and has self harmed a few times by cutting her arms. I've asked school for support and they've suggested some apps for her to download etc. I plan on taking her to the GP to ask for practical support. We've talked it through and she's ok with this. She wants help.
I've read up on this and am careful not to ask why she's doing it and I've not taken the thing she's using to cut herself with from her as the cuts seem superficial and I don't want her to use something sharper and really hurt herself. She's got access to antiseptic cream and plasters but I haven't given her them, she just knows where they are.
I might sound calm but I'm really not. I'm worried sick but trying not to let it show. Can anyone offer me any advice on this. How best to handle it? I know why she's doing it and it's not something I want to go into other than to say her dad and I split up and she's finding it really hard.
