The LSZ is committed to raising awareness about self-harm, breaking the taboo, and addressing prejudices and abuses. In addition, the Foundation offers peers and also allies (family members, partners, friends, and caregivers of people who self-harm) a place for (recognition) and provides practical tools to cope with self-harm in daily life.
Self-harm is a serious problem, almost always involving very intense emotions for which a person sees no other way to cope. The LSZ believes that self-harm should be recognized as a survival strategy.
We offer various forms of help. From very low-threshold, such as the forum on the website, to the peer day we organize once a year. Furthermore, we also provide education and training, for example at schools and to other caregivers. This is very important, as self-harm is a subject with many prejudices. Unfortunately, also within care, where it is often punished, ignored, or where you are even excluded from therapy.
We work with a team of (experienced) volunteers. Many of our volunteers have also dealt with some form of self-harm at some point in their lives. These experiences are now used to help others. For many of us, using our own experience and collaborating with other experts by experience enriches life. Every day we see how much our work is needed.
The National Foundation for Self-Harm is the only foundation in the Netherlands and Belgium that advocates for people who self-harm or have self-harmed and their network.
The LSZ receives no government subsidy or other structural financial support and is therefore dependent on funds and donations. This is because self-harm is not a diagnosis, like Borderline Personality Disorder or Schizophrenia.
