Samaritans find half of those who self-harm think people are afraid of them 

While 77% of respondents in the all-Ireland report said they would be willing to 'help' someone who self-harmed, 64% would not carpool and 56% would not rent out an apartment to them.

More than half of people who self-harm believe the average person is "afraid" of them, a new first-of-its-kind report has found.

The research, conducted for Samaritans Ireland, also shows a stigma towards people who self-harm affects their ability to rent an apartment, find a job, or enter a new relationship.
