Harmless

Harmless Harmless is the National Centre of Excellence for Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention. We know that with the right support and help, life can get better.

Harmless was founded by Caroline and Amy in October 2007, the duo, both with their own experiences used this and their passion to help others to turn the service from a dream into a reality. We are an all age, user led organisation, that provides a range of services about self harm including support, information, training and consultancy to people to self harm, their friends, families and professi

onals. We are people who understand self harm and at the heart of our service is a real sense of hope. We believe in hope and recovery. What support do we offer? We offer two streams of support for people that do or are at risk of self harm. These services are equal in terms of quality and skill of the workforce, but differ in terms of approach and the length of time that people can access them. Clinical Support Work draws upon the expertise of a specialist self harm organisation and works to provide a stabilisation intervention to those who self harm. We also have a team of qualified therapists that deliver a range of therapy opportunities to our service users. Trained across different therapy approaches we can provide short term, long term, and sometimes group psychotherapy

We can deliver support through multiple methods including: face to face, phone, online video support, email and post. We have a number of Clinical Support Workers and Therapists based in Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw, Leicestershire and Rutland delivering one-one weekly emotional and practical support. Training and Information? Harmless has a specialist in-house training department called Let’s Talk Training. Our Specialist Training Team deliver a range of courses round the issues of self harm, suicide prevention, awareness and bereavement and mental health. We also produce a number of leaflets and resources about self harm aimed at improving awareness of self harm, challenging stigma and helping people move towards a better quality of life.

Harmless is profoundly concerned by the proposed under-16 social media ban. Restricting access risks driving vulnerable young people underground, isolating them from vital sources of connection, support and community. Read our full statement:

Harmless responds to the proposed under-16 social media ban, exploring its impact on young people’s mental health, online safety, support networks and digital wellbeing.

When we talk about support for neurodivergent minds, the conversation usually revolves around appointments, strategies and clinical interventions. But our members are telling us something different.

They are finding that the simple, collective act of singing in our Choir for Hope is doing more for their well-being than traditional mental health offers ever did.

Why? Because here, there is nothing to ‘fix’. There is no pressure to mask. It’s a sensory, rhythmic, shared experience where you can simply exist alongside others. If standard interventions haven't given you the space you need, maybe a room full of music will.

The Choir for Hope next meets on Tuesday 16th June 2pm–3.30pm at East Leake Pavilion, Costock Road, East Leake, Loughborough LE12 6LY. For further information, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/9r9hpwkz

We hope you can join us.
