People want to avoid suffering. When there seems to be no way to reasonably solve, control, or escape it, we often turn to drastic means. Self harm and suicidal impulses may take many forms, are clear signs of major distress, and needs to be taken seriously.

While rates of these issues are higher than ever, approaches for how to help have become very effective. Everyone's needs are distinct - connecting with an empathetic presence, learning to handle distress and harmful urges in a healthy way, enriching one's life with meaningful activity, and building a positive self relationship. We are here to help.
