Cornell Research Program on Self-Injurious Behavior in Adolescents and Young Adults
Our research program has two primary goals: a) to conduct cutting edge research on self-injurious behavior (also called non-suicidal self-injury) and b) to translate research findings from our and other studies into usable knowledge forrents, youth-serving professionals, individuals with self-injury experience, medical professionals, and others. Our work is also intended to explore the relationship of self-injury to other mental health conditions (suicide and eating disorders, for example) and to shed light on contextual conditions that increase and reduce the likelihood that young people will engage in self-injurious behaviors.support for self-injurious Behavior
