Cutting, scratching, burning, hair-pulling. For some adolescents, experiencing self-inflicted physical pain
becomes a regular practice to manage psychological pain. This is not a rare phenomenon. In fact, studies
have put the range anywhere from 12%–37% of high schoolers engaging in some form of self-harm
(Cornell University, 2021). Whether used as a coping mechanism, a way to express anger, or for dealing
with intense emotional pain, self-harm (also known as self-injury) is often a call for help.
Social workers must understand self-harm warning signs and intervention strategies in order to
appropriately respond. In this Assignment, you develop a presentation to raise awareness and educate
other social work professionals on this issue.

indicators of self-harm, appropriate interventions, and follow-up steps for
professionals needing to respond to adolescents who self-harm.
