TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Postcards, green cards and telephone calls: therapeutic contact with individuals following self-harm JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Kapur, Navneet A1 - Cooper, Jayne A1 - Bennewith, Olive A1 - Gunnell, David A1 - Hawton, Keith E. SP - 5 EP - 7 VL - 197 IS - 1 N2 - Self-harm is a major public health problem and universal interventions such as contacting individuals by post or telephone following a self-harm episode have received much attention recently. They may also appeal to service providers because of their low cost. However, a widespread introduction of these interventions cannot be justified without a better understanding of whether they work, and if so how.
