SELF INJURY SUPPORT
Self injury Support (formerly Bristol Crisis Service for Women) is a charity. We were set up in 1986, to support women in emotional distress.

We particularly help girls and women who harm themselves (often called self-injury). This is how some people cope with their feelings and problems.

Our aims

To offer support to women in emotional distress, and particularly to those who self-injure.
To develop services, and raise awareness of self-injury and mental health issues, through training and providing information.

We have carried out a lot of research into the experiences and needs of women who self-injure. As well as helping to shape our own services, this work has also helped people:

get a better understanding of self-injury; and
find the best ways of working with people who self-injure.

We have also written ‘good practice guidelines’ for working with people who self-injure.

What we do

1.   run TESS text and email support for self-injury and self harm
2.   offer a Women's Self-injury Helpline
3.   produce information and publications about self-injury
4.   deliver talks and self-injury training courses to professionals
5.   support self-injury self-help groups

Through our own experiences of mental health issues, we have learnt how important having relevant information is and how the right support can help transform lives. Our team is passionate about counselling and we want to promote the huge benefits talk therapy can have.

Our website is a confidential service that encourages those in need to seek help and to connect individuals with qualified counsellors in the UK. The site contains information on the common reasons people turn to counselling, as well as articles, news, and events. To ensure the professionalism of our website, all counsellors have provided us with qualifications and insurance cover or proof of membership with a professional body. We are now a leading support network in the UK and have over 13,000 qualified counsellors listed with us.
