Help for depression and self harm
Good News Files 2006
Wednesday, 12 July 2006

0607_stig_girlfriend_mag The July edition of Girlfriend magazine included an article about depression and self harm entitled 'My Mum cuts herself'. 

Readers liked the balanced and informative article. It featured a young woman who spoke about her strategies for coping with her mother's depression and self harm. Inclusion of her first hand account helps to normalise mental illness and reduce stigma.  

StigmaWatch was also pleased to note the emphasis on treatments, and information on how to get help.
