Description
Calm Harm is an award winning app funded by stem4, the UK’s leading digital mental health charity, to help people resist or manage the urge to self-harm.
Calm Harm was developed by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Nihara Krause MBE and uses principles from an evidence-based psychological treatment called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
The app provides some immediate activities and techniques to help you break the cycle of self-harm behaviour and explore underlying trigger factors. It also supports you in building a ‘safety net’ of helpful thoughts, behaviours, and access to supportive people, as well as providing the opportunity to journal and self-reflect.
The Calm Harm app is private, anonymous, and safe. Please note that the app is an aid to treatment, but doesn’t replace it.
