My lovely friend is beside herself. Her son has recently started self harming after a horrible year with school stuff. He was being bullied by some lads at school (they were expelled and he moved schools) but this self harming is relatively new.
He isn’t doing it in secret he calls himself an ambulance each time. She’s worried about him, she’s worried he’s getting more and more attention each time he does it and he seems to enjoy being in the hospital and doesn’t want to leave. CAHMS say they can’t do anything until after Xmas/New Year. She’s beside herself, what can she do?
