Self-harm is often portrayed as a modern phenomenon, but it's actually been with us for a long time - what is new is the stigma and shame. In this blog I explore the history and what we can learn from it: naomisalisbury.org/self-harm-is... #mentalhealth #education #selfharm #selfinjury

I'm interested in what other people think about the value and impact of 'awareness' training around self-harm. Is a one-off training session enough? How easy is it to embed learning from a one day session? My blog on this from last week: lnkd.in/esZ99v_2 #mentalhealth #selfharm #selfinjury

In my latest blog I reflect on how people feel after self-harm and why it's important to persevere in getting the right language to descibe someone's experiences: naomisalisbury.org/self-harm-as... #mentalhealth #madsky #selfharm #selfinjury

I’ve taken a slight departure in this blog from responding to other people’s unanswered questions to responding to some news that seems to have passed many people by this week about rates of self-harm and mental illness in UK benefits claimants: naomisalisbury.org/self-harm-as...

We already see suicidal patients being turned away and told they "have capacity" to end their lives. Assisted dying is an absolute disaster when our mental health services are already on their knees and failing people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

As long as we harm ourselves and die at home where we are out of sight, they can pretend we are not being neglected.

Once again thinking about this dog from 1908, who kept pushing children into the river so he could get steaks for rescuing them.
