ABOUT

The foundational content for this website was developed by Deb Martinson between 1998-2001. It was housed at an obscure URL that had fallen into disrepair. A small group of folks who saw it as an invaluable resource modified, updated, and currently maintain it. Those of us who maintain this resource each have personal lived experience with self-injury.

Resources

Self-Injury Outreach and Support is a Canadian non-profit outreach initiative providing information and resources about self-injury to those who self-injure, those who have recovered, and those who want to help.

If you would like more formal crisis support, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860 (U.S.) or 877-330-6366 (Canada), or The Trevor Project at 866-488-7386. If you don’t like talking on the phone, you can text HOME to 741741 to get to Crisis Text Line. If you’d like to talk to a peer, warmline.org contains links to warmlines in the United States. If you’re not in the U.S., click here for a connection to crisis centers around the world.

NOTE: Many of these resources could utilize restrictive interventions, like active rescues (wellness or welfare checks) involving law enforcement or emergency services. A warmline is least likely to do this, but still might have these policies. You can ask if this is a possibility at any point in your conversation if this is a concern for you.

** Neither Peerly Human online support groups nor Trans Lifeline implement any restrictive interventions for people considering suicide.
