One of my close friends is battling really hard with self harm, I want to help them as they have said before that they don’t want to do it and have been trying to break the cycle. 
I want to encourage not self harming and finding other methods, but know that I shouldn’t let a stigma of self harm = bad come through as this may become a view of “I self harm therefore I am bad”. I know all cases are different and the things that work for some don’t for others, I have also heard that a cold turkey no self harm isn’t always as helpful as weaning off it. What is there that I can do that might help? (I personally find it very hard to concede that self harm should be dealt with other then the cold turkey methods though don’t want that coming through and pushing through if my friend does act on these feelings). Also, if you’re going to say “be there” in what ways? If this isn’t allowed I apologise  and please delete
