On The Couch With Dr Tracie Rogers

Dr Krystal-Jane Verasammy and I are discussing self-harm and young people in this episode. Self-harm or self-injury is the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue, done without the intention of suicide. Based on my experience and many conversations with other mental health professions, I believe self-harm to be a silent epidemic among our young people in Trinidad and Tobago. In this podcast, Krystal-Jane and I discuss why people self-harm and how to start the recovery process. Self-harm should never be trivialized or viewed as attention seeking.
