Self-harm is spiralling in Britain. It is estimated that two teenagers in every classroom are driven by depression or anxiety to hurt themselves.

You will need a referral from your GP to use this app. BlueIce is an evidenced-based app to help young people manage their emotions and reduce urges to self-harm. It includes a mood diary, a toolbox of evidence-based techniques to reduce distress and automatic routing to emergency numbers if urges to harm continue.

This free app is developed using ideas from an evidence-based therapy called DBT. The focus is to help learn to identify and manage your ‘emotional’ mind with positive impact. The app enables you to track your progress.

Self-heal is a free tool that guides the management of self-injury. It can be used anonymously and independently, to enable you to take recovery into your own hands.
