STOPPING THE PAIN

"This was a way for me to just let loose," says one teen who, like others in this program, explains the reasons and feelings behind her past behavior—self-injury. Teens describe what led them to self-injury and how they got help, while experts identify several reasons why young people self-injure and give helpful coping skills and healthy ways self-injurers can address their problems. A summary of the program, learning objectives, student activities, and fact sheets are included on the DVD. Grades 7 and up. Closed captioned. Color. 20 minutes. Human Relations Media. ©2010.
