Support plea for self-harm victims
According to the National Suicide Research Foundation, there are more than 11,000 presentations to Emergency Departments by about 8,500 individuals every year. A conference was organised by Dr Kay Inckle of Trinity College Dublin’s School of Social Work and Social Policy to create more awareness of self-injury.
Pieta House, which provides support to people affected by self-injury, believes up to 60,000 engage in self-injury every year.
