To Talk Later?
We sent our daughter to Avery's House for self harm treatment and we can't say enough good things about the program. The major difference is that they are not a clinic or a treatment facility, it's a home. 
About 17% of teens admit to self-harming at least once in their lifetime
Self-harm is more prevalent in teens than any other population. Also known as nonsuicidal self-injury, it can be difficult to stop self-harming. If your teen is self-harming, don’t wait to reach out. We can help.

Self-harm is not a mental health disorder, but a serious symptom of other psychological conditions. It’s not about suicide, rather a search to relieve the build-up of stress and emotional pressure. Risk factors include:
- Mental health conditions like anxiety or depression
- Having family or friends who harm themselves
- Trauma or ongoing stress
- Difficult relationships with family and friends Eating disorders
