This is because we believe that the NHS definition of Deliberate Self Harm is wrong and we would like it to be changed.
According to the NHS it is
" Deliberate self-harm
An attempt to commit suicide - which may be a cry for help rather than a serious
attempt to actually commit suicide"

329. Kay K | Many people who self-harm are not doing it as a 'cry for help'. Many of us hurt ourselves secretly, in order to release emotions that are too painful to deal with in other ways. We don't want others to see this pain. If we end up in hospitals, it is often
