Welcome

Welcome to our blog. This blog is intended to increase education and awareness on Self Injurious Behavior (SIB) specifically centered towards cutting and burning. Our intended audience is social work students and professionals who may be in need of more information about SIB.

We chose this topic because none of us are very familiar with SIB and the needs of clients who self-injure. We wished to learn more about SIB as well as to dispel many of the myths and stereotypes that are commonly associated with SIB. Our wish is that after visiting our blog individuals will leave more knowledgeable about the mechanics of SIB while increasing empathy and compassion towards those who self-injure.
