I'd like to have contact with other parents of teenagers who self-harm, especially if in  Western Australia. I live in  Perth, Western Australia and have an 18yr old daughter who has been cutting herself for the past 2 or 3 years now...At times, she has also been drunk and taken a lot of pills, before harming herself...She also suffers from an eating disorder, which she says, is just another way of being 'in control' of herself and her life. This is a very difficult thing to have to deal with, both for my daughter and for myself and the rest of our family.  I've tried to find a professional person who I can talk to about her condition and in particular, someone who specializes in this area but to no avail...I'd like to have contact with other parents of teenagers who have this problem and who are also having to deal with similar issues as myself, such as, feelings of guilt, helplessness, fear etc: Please contact me if you are in a similar situation or if you know of anything that may be of help to us... concerned_mum

Summarized question: Where can you find a support group for parents of teenagers who self-harm?
