Restorative Justice and Self-Harm

As a former youth who engaged in self-harm, we incorporate a unique designed self-awareness model. It's important for our communities to understand self-harm is about medicate pain. Biting my arm breaking the skin, or banging my head on the wall was to take away the inner pain. It was never about attention seeking behavior. Many times it done when no one is around. Unlike mental pain, physical pain release endorphins causes a sensation similar to a drug.
