News stories tagged with "self-mutilation"
Krista, with North Country Adolescent Outreach educator Adam Wheeler.
(06/20/05) Some 2 million Americans intentionally injure themselves to cope with emotionally overwhelming feelings or situations. It's often called self-injury, or self-mutilation, or just "cutting". Krista is 15. She started cutting several years ago. She went to the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center twice for her behavior. She now lives in a foster home in Potsdam. Krista has stopped cutting.

A warning: some listeners, especially young children, may find the subject matter in this story difficult to listen to.
