Self Harm
We received a call from a GP saying that he had a 15 year old girl in surgery and he was concerned about the self-harm to her arms and upper legs. Sarah was saying she was depressed and feeling suicidal.
Read Sarah’s story below.
What happened next?
On the phone, we asked the GP if it would be possible for Sarah to give consent to let her parents know what was going on as this would keep her as safe as possible.
