March is Self-Injury Awareness Month

Posted: 3/13/2025 8:42 am

Self-injury is more common than people realize, affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. That includes adolescents here in Brookline, who often secretly self-harm as a coping mechanism for emotional pain, stress, or feelings of numbness. It is not just a phase or attention-seeking behavior but a real problem for many. In recognition of March as Self-Injury Awareness Month, B-PEN’s Mental Health page offers helpful self-harm resources if you know or suspect someone may be struggling.
