This site is designed as a reference point for members of their mail list, and others who self injure, or know others who self injure. Self-injury is the general term used to describe self-inflicted pain or injury on oneself. Most commonly this is in the form of cutting or burning, but there are many other forms of self-injury. Self-injury is often linked to depression, and is - simply expressed - a coping mechanism. www.healthyplace.com/communities/Self_Injury/healingtouch/index.html
