Self-harm can easily become an addiction before you even realize what’s happening.
If I could go back to my 14-year-old self, I never would’ve started in the first place.
From my experience, it’s an incredibly difficult addiction to beat.
And throughout my years of battling with self-harm, I’ve found healthier alternatives I can turn to when the urge is strong.
I’ve compiled a list of 100 self-harm alternatives into one free PDF. You can keep the PDF on your device, or you can even print it out.
All you have to do to get your free printable is to fill out the form below. I truly hope it helps!

Hi Meagan, I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for 20+ years, and although I’ve never self-harmed, I’ve worked with countless at-risk teens who do. I’ve had so many conversations in which we brainstorm ideas for alternative behaviors and options. I’ll be grabbing your download and I know it will be useful! Thank you, Ali
That’s so amazing! Thank you! 🙂
I would like a copy of this.
