A charity has opened three support services across the country in response to the growing rates of self-harm.
Penumbra Mental Health has established centres in Glasgow, Dundee and the Highlands and Islands after seeing a 22 per cent increase in those seeking its support in the past year. In 2021, the charity helped 418 people with self-harm but is now supporting 643 people across its existing six services.
Fiona Gray, who is senior practitioner for the Self-Harm Glasgow Network, has lived experience of self-harm and was herself previously supported by a professional.
