By Their Own Young Hand

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the pressing issue of self-harm among adolescents, this book presents findings from the UK's first large-scale survey examining deliberate self-harm and suicidal thoughts in young people. It highlights the experiences of 6,000 participants, revealing their coping mechanisms and views on available support. The authors analyze risk and protective factors, exploring why some youth act on suicidal thoughts while others do not, and assess the adequacy of the support systems in place for distressed teenagers.
