Calm Harm is an app designed to help people resist or manage the urge to self-harm. It's private, password protected and is based on the principles of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). The app provides tasks that encourage users to distract themselves from urges to self-harm and help manage their "emotional mind" in a more positive way. Please note, the app is an aid to treatment, but does not replace it. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
