I’m happy to share a relatively new Canadian web resource now up and running headed by Dr. Stephen Lewis from the University of Guelph and Dr. Nancy Health from McGill University. Both have been conducting valuable research in the field along with their team.
The website, Self-injury Outreach & Support, is a collaboration between the two universities and can be found at www.sioutreach.org.
