Overcoming Self Harm and Suicidal Thoughts; A Practical Guide for The Adolescent Years. Liz Quish

Peoples Book Prize Award Finalist 2015

As a parent of a child who self-harmed this book gave me and my wonderful son hope!! I have done a lot of research on self-harm and bought my fair share of books on the topic in a bid to understand self-harm and help my son. This book far exceeds any other book I bought. Written with such compassion, no lingo, easy to read and understand, with practical tips and advice. My son also read the book (his 16) and followed the tips and advice within in a bid to take control of his emotions and develop his self-care. This book is worthy of acknowledgement, tackling such a prevalent and challenging issue in a respectful, honest and compassionate manner. Well done to you Liz, I’m glad I came across your book.

This is a great book. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. My daughter was self-harming and I found it very difficult to deal with. I was overwhelmed and scared. This book helped me and my daughter so much. Very practical tools and tips. A truly valuable text worthy of acknowledgement.
