Aside from a professional therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist, there are many private, free and anonymous ways that people who self-mutilate can seek help. Almost any local library will have books on the subject, including self-help books with useful tips on how to control the behavior and emotion before it controls you. If the patient attends school, they can seek help via a school health department, counselor or nurse..... while these people are not necessarily trained to help the patient work through their issues, they can defiantly provide moral support, helpful information and connect you to local institutions that can further assist the individual.

Another great source of help is right here on the internet. Many national organizations have websites with useful tools on how to quit, Self-Help Hot Lines (which are always free, confidential and often helpful) and tons of other information. There are also chat rooms where support is often sought and found. Some of my favorite organizations are: "S.A.F.E Alternatives" (Self Abuse Finally Ends) and "TWLOHA" (To Write Love on Her Arms).

The S.A.F.E Alternatives site has a really cool blog that anyone can contribute to via WordPress....
