Self-harm, also known as self-injury, is the act of intentionally causing harm to oneself, such as cutting or burning the skin. It is often a coping mechanism used to deal with intense emotions, stress, or trauma. It is important for professionals to be aware of the signs and indicators of self-harm in adolescents and to know how to appropriately intervene and provide follow-up care.
