Fiona Gray, who is a Senior Practitioner for the new Self-Harm Glasgow Network, has lived experience of self-harm, and was herself supported by a professional many years ago. “Our service is now open for self-referral which means that anyone in Glasgow, who is over the age of 16, can access our service for support with their self-harm.
