Description You may have noticed them—the kids who are hiding their pain under long
sleeves or wristbands. Or you might never notice them—the ones who seem
to have life together except for the deep secret that they keep hidden
beneath their clothes. This is no longer a fringe issue that occurs
only in the most extreme cases. The truth is that many teens today are
dealing with their emotional pain by inflicting physical pain upon
themselves, whether we can see it on the surface or not.
While
we may never fully understand the motives behind self-mutilation and
cutting, we can begin to understand why some teens cut, and more
importantly, we can learn how to help. Hope and Healing for Kids Who
Cut will take you into the world of self-injury, defining what it
is—and what it is not. You’ll hear stories from teens and young adults
who struggle with the urge to hurt themselves, and you’ll learn to
recognize the signs of self-injury. In addition, counselor and
professor, Marv Penner will help you understand the cycle of addiction,
that has become everyday life for so many hurting teens, and he’ll give
you the tools and wisdom to help a self-injurer find hope and healing.
Whether you know someone who is cutting, or you are struggling with
this addiction yourself, Hope and Healing for Kids Who Cut is something
you want to have in your “first-aid” kit.
