I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this website by telling me their thoughts and feelings about their self harm.  All the quotes and stories featured on this website are from real people dealing with issues very real to themselves.  I would like to thank them for their honesty and for their part in helping raise awareness about self harm and for wanting to do something to help others.  Their honesty and bravery is impacting.  Any names have been changed to protect confidentiality.  

 

I myself would not be where I am now if it wasn’t for the love of God and God’s power to take a life and transform it beyond recognition.  I would also like to thank all the people that make up ‘Today’s Community Church.’  There I met a God who was relevant to my life and loved me with more love than I thought possible. I found people who believed in me. People who taught me that I was here to win.  People who accepted me just as I was, whilst seeing my potential and the person I could become. I found somewhere that valued my gifts, that released me to serve God and others, that taught me life is for living well. I met people that I am honored to share my life with.
