{WHAT IS SELF-INJURY? Self-injury is a deliberate, non-suicidal behavior that involves inflicting physical harm on oneself. Examples can include cutting, scratching, burning, self-hitting, hair pulling, bone breaking, etc.

TEENS: APECA offers support services for teens (ages 11-17) recovering from self-injury and abuse.  No cost is involved, but registration is required.  Call the APECA office at 623-247-6026 for more information.
