Provide crisis resources and assess safety: 'If you are thinking of hurting yourself, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. For non-urgent support, a therapist can help you find healthier coping strategies.'
-
Offer harm reduction alternatives: 'Instead of self-harm, try snapping a rubber band on your wrist, holding an ice cube, or drawing on your skin with a red marker. These can provide sensory relief without injury.'
-
Guide the user to a self-harm support plan: 'Write down three people you can call when the urge arises. Keep a list of activities that distract you, like walking, listening to music, or journaling.'
