Press Release: Scars of Self-Injury Revealed at Lifetree Café

OCTOBER 4, 2010

PIKEVILLE, KY – Self-injury is known by several names, including self-abuse, self-mutilation, cutting, burning, and deliberate self-harm. The causes of this behavior, stories from two self-injurers, and ways to help will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Tuesday, October 12 at 7:00 PM.

While approximately 90 percent of self-injury behavior begins in the teenage years, this pattern often continues into adulthood as a private way of dealing with hurt and pain. While some may perceive self-injurers as pre-suicidal, research points to this behavior as a means of survival—from sexual abuse, an alcoholic parent, or other stressful situations.

Filmed interviews of two self-injurers will be shown at the event, and discussion about how to reach out in love to those caught in this behavior will follow. In addition, helpful information will be provided about the various forms of self-injury.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at First Presbyterian Church on Cedar Creek Road in Pikeville.
