Thank you Trevor the Owl for your feedback about the self harm group (that was run for young people over a 10 week period September – December 2012).

The staff that ran the group are really pleased that you remembered some of the distraction and mindfulness techniques taught. And for being such a creative and fun group of young people to work with. We hope your posting will encourage other young people to attend future groups.

Good luck all of you!
