Would you like to start a self help group for Self Injury?
S.A.F.E. Focus™ is a voluntary support group which utilizes guidelines developed by the S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES® Program. This support group focuses on identifying, verbalizing, and tolerating feelings, rather than on underlying issues. As participants begin to engage in this work, they may recognize similar, if not identical, behaviors in fellow group members. Such recognition may be uncomfortable, yet it is highly beneficial because awareness is the first step towards recovery. Additional emphasis is placed on group interaction by using verbal communication and developing interpersonal skills. Participants will learn to take in and give constructive feedback. The importance of healthy risk-taking will be stressed in order to provide the participant with an opportunity to develop new coping skills in place of self-injury.
S.A.F.E. Focus™ strongly recommends that each group member be simultaneously engaged in individual therapy for the duration of the group sessions. S.A.F.E. Focus™ is not a replacement for “one on one” psychotherapy, it is a support group. For more information on finding a therapist visit our referral information.
The purpose of S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES® S.A.F.E. Focus™ is to provide a structured group for those who self injure and desire to change that behavior.
Exercises and assignments focusing on basic principles of the S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES® philosophy, will help participants identify and express their feelings appropriately and to decrease or eliminate the impulses to self injure. This program meets weekly for 12 weeks, 2 hours per week (participants may attend additional 12 week sessions with approval from the group facilitator).
For more information on facilitating S.A.F.E. Focus™ or becoming a group participant visit our admission information.
S.A.F.E. Focus™ Group *Members:
Self-injurious behavior may have been your favored way to quickly, yet temporarily, block unmanageable feelings. Self-injury will not eliminate the underlying troubling issues. Self-injury will, however, leave scars, and loss of trust. S.A.F.E. Focus™ will not replace the “quick fix” or rush often experienced when engaging in self-injury, but will provide lifelong coping tools for achieving a happier and healthier life. Members will be responsible for signing and following the group guidelines, participating fully in group and completing group assignments and exercises. Members may act as sponsors for new members. Participant manuals will serve as a workbook throughout the 12 weeks of group, they include exercises, assignments, logs, and other useful tools.
*Prospective members will be interviewed by the group facilitator to determine appropriateness for the group. (Clients who are acutely suicidal, homicidal, or have a primary chemical dependency or eating disorder, would not be appropriate for S.A.F.E. Focus™).
