S3E8 - Understanding self-harm, with Naomi Salisbury

What is self-harm? Why can it be so uncomfortable to talk about? How do we best support those who self-harm?

In this episode of Lively Minds, hosts Ellie and Will explore self-harm with Naomi Salisbury, a consultant and former CEO of Self Injury Support. They discuss the varied reasons behind self-harm, its misconceptions, and the importance of compassion and harm minimisation.

Naomi shares insights on support strategies, the role of lived experience in policy, and practical tools for seeking help - both for those that self-harm and those that care about them.
