To mark self-harm awareness day on 1 March, a group of youth charities including Young Minds and ChildLine commissioned a survey of 815 parents and 3800 young people aged up to 24 who on beliefs and attitudes around self-harm. Findings include: 67% of parents think young people should go to their parents for information and support on self-harm, but only 16% of young people would talk to their parents about it. 76% would turn to online support groups.
