About Safe Space Self Injury Support
Mission Statement
At A Safe Space for Self-Injury Support, our mission is to provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment for individuals affected by self-injury. We offer separate, dedicated support groups for teens and adults to ensure that participants receive age appropriate support and understanding.
Through our groups, we focus on fostering emotional growth, building self-esteem and offering participants a wide variety of practical coping skills. These include art, journaling, mindfulness, relaxation techniques and other creative outlets for self-expression and emotional regulation.
Our goal is to empower individuals to:
- Understand their triggers
- Develop healthier responses to emotional pain
- Strengthen their self esteem
- Build a supportive community that values healing, personal growth, and positive self-expression
Our Commitments:
- Providing a wide range of tools and strategies for emotional regulation, self-care and alternative coping methods
- Promoting resilience, hope and recovery through connection, creativity, and self-discovery
- Supporting individuals on their journey toward self-acceptance, emotional well-being and long-term healing
Our Groups will take place in Barberton, Ohio
Please be advised that this is a peer support group, not a therapy group. Our group is facilitated by an individual with lived experience rather than a licensed professional. Due to the complex nature of self-injury, participation in this group requires that all members are either in therapy or under the care of a medical professional. This support group is intended to be one component of a comprehensive recovery plan.
For any questions or further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thank you.
