Resources for Healthcare Professionals

In schools across the country, certain students have found a new thrill…and for some, a new antidote to pain. It’s not a drug but can be just as addictive and just as dangerous. Learn the causes – learn the signs – and help the young people in your care get the help they need.

I have been widely acknowledged for my therapeutic work in the field of self-injury. After years of thoughtful research and production, I launched this touchstone DVD to educate school personnel, therapists, families and teens.

The DVD includes 60 minutes of informative and revealing dialogue and features testimonials from teenage self-injurers, parents, and medical staff.

If you would like to make this resource available to parents, clients or other field professionals at your school, practice or facility, please let me know.
