Impact of Youth Self-Harm on Families by Jailton Júnior is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This qualitative study investigates the emotional, physical, and practical impacts of self-harm by young people on their parents and families, based on interviews with 37 parents in the UK. Findings reveal that parents experience shock, anxiety, guilt, and social isolation, which can strain family dynamics and relationships. The study emphasizes the need for clinicians to provide support not only to the young individuals but also to their families, including siblings who are also affected by the situation.
