How we help with self injury

Self injury Support (formerly Bristol Crisis Service for Women) is a national organisation that supports girls and women affected by self-injury or self-harm.

We have carried out extensive research with women who self-injure, and through our work we have developed a deep understanding of the reasons individuals harm themselves and of the things they may find helpful or supportive.

We also have wide experience of the concerns and needs of workers in different settings and disciplines, and in developing good working practice.

Reporting harassment on public transport.

I saw a post on Facebook that asked about what to din a situation that involved a man on a bus staring 
lecherously at women. There were some of the responses.


You can text British Transport Police on 61016

 Ask  perpetrators  "Why?" (It's quite a powerful word as it requires them to consider or explain their actions. If they disagree, correct them and persist.) 

You OK, sis ? - which involves going up to a woman who is clearly being harassed and and asking her if she's OK, just to let her know she is supported

Organisations that help women in distress- Karma Nirvana

A friend shared this with me thought I would share it with you

From the website 

Karma Nirvana is a UK registered Charity that supports victims and survivors of Forced Marriage and Honour Based Abuse. It was named in the hope that the work it seeks to undertake would make a positive impact on the lives of individuals who would by our involvement achieve a sense of peace and ultimately enlightenment.

In 1993, Jasvinder, a survivor of forced marriage and honour based abuse, established the project initially with a view to create a support network for women who experienced language and cultural barriers. Since Karma Nirvana’s establishment in 1993 it has expanded and developed from a local to regional project to now being a national to international project. Karma Nirvana not only supports women, but has expanded to also support men and couples as this has been identified as a growing need by the project.

We run the UK’s first helpline that is dedicated to supporting victims who have experienced Forced Marriage and Honour Based Abuse. Our aim is to raise public awareness on the issues and in breaking the silence we provide education through accredited training, including seminars, conferences and workshops. Our expert call handlers provide confidential listening support, options and guidance to all professionals, victims and survivors of honour based abuse through our National Honour Network Helpline.
