Title of Policy
Scotland's Self-Harm Strategy and Action Plan
Summary of aims and desired outcomes of Policy
This Strategy and Action plan's vision is for people who have self-harmed or are thinking of self-harming, to receive compassionate, recovery-focused support, without fear of stigma or discrimination.
Over the next three years, we will take forward actions in three areas:
Continue to expand and deepen knowledge and embed compassionate understanding of self-harm, tackling stigma and discrimination.
Continue to build person-centred, support and services across Scotland to meet the needs of people affected by self-harm.
Review, improve, and share data and evidence to drive improvements in support and service responses for people who self-harm, or who are at increased risk of doing so.
