Men's experiences of self-harm
Self-harm among men may be an underreported phenomenon, and masculine norms can contribute to men who self-harm avoiding seeking help. This project aims to generate knowledge about men's self-harm and their recovery from self-harm.
As part of the project, a scoping review and a qualitative interview study have been conducted and published:
- Gabrielsson, S., Wolpher, N., Zammata, E., Fagerström, L., & Lindgren, B. M. (2024). When the time is right: Men's experiences of recovery in self‐harm. International Journal of Mental Health Nursing.
