Male Self-Harm up 11%

Ireland has GREAT self-harm reporting!

"The report revealed that almost half of presentations were by people under 30, with the peak rate for women in the 15-19 age group and for men in the 20-24 age group. An increase in self harm was also observed amongst those aged as young as 10-14 years."

"with particular concern for those who used highly lethal methods, such as attempted hanging and drowning."
