Abstract
Abstract Self‐harm has become one of the great taboos of our time. In men it is even less acknowledged, accepted and understood than it is in women. This report looks at the almost invisible population of men who self‐harm. Using interviews with men who self‐harm, it explores their experiences and their perspectives on the support and services to which they have access. It draws on these perspectives to identify what professionals, service providers and commissioners can learn from men who self‐harm and proposes ways forward to better meet their needs.
