This raises questions about what the very nature of care could or should be in the context of self-harm – perhaps we need to throw away old assumptions, and find new ways of imagining care?

Throughout, unlike prevailing wisdom that suggests care for self-harm requires silence, avoidance, absence & distance (i.e. not representing self-harm to make sure no-one engages in imitative behaviour), for my participants care involved being close to the idea of self-harm, engaging deeply with it
