Barriers | Episode 3

Our new limited edition series from Self-Harm Network Scotland focuses on how self-harm affects men, in particular. 

Episode 3 identifies some of the barriers facing men who self-harm. Plenty of men simply aren't getting the support that they need, so in this episode, our host and podcast guests discuss what might stop men from asking for help, and what might stop men from getting help.

Content note: This episode contains discussion about self-harm, including methods of self-harm. Please take care when watching or listening. If you feel affected and need support, we’re here to help — visit www.selfharmnetworkscotland.org.uk where you can access resources, training, and one-to-one support.

They bring their own lived experience to support others who self-harm. 

Also in the studio is Amy Chandler, a Professor of the Sociology of Health & Illness at University of Edinburgh.
