Just 'be there' for them. Let them know that, if ever they need someone to talk to - you'll be there to listen. Don't judge them. Make sure they know you'll not think badly of them whether they self-harm or not. Guide them to professional help. While taking to a friend is good - they should really be talking to a trained professional, who will offer constructive, practical advice and coping strategies. Even if they do seek professional help, don't abandon them. They'll still appreciate a friendly face outside a hospital environment.
