S.A.F.E. Alternatives

S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES® is a nationally recognized treatment approach designed to help you and others achieve an end to self-injurious behavior. 

Even though self-injury may be an attempt to manage emotional pain, it often creates its own chaos, shame, and relational conflict. The compulsion to use self-harming behaviors, such as cutting, picking, or burning, is often confusing to those who engage in the behavior and those who love them.

At S.A.F.E. Alternatives, we provide specialized treatment for those who self-injure (also known as self-harm, self-abuse, self-mutilation, non-suicidal self-injury) and provide a nationally recognized treatment approach designed to end self-injurious behavior.

Even though self-injury may be an attempt to manage emotional pain, it often creates its own chaos, shame, and relational conflict. The compulsion to use self-harming behaviors, such as cutting, picking, or burning, is often confusing to those who engage in the behavior and those who love them.
