S&L Safe Cut Kits® are carefully and specifically designed to support those affected by self-harm
Sadly, with the current situation with mental health hitting an all time low, self harm is becoming increasingly common. Many professional services recommend having a ‘Safe Cut Kit’ available for a person to access.
Our kits are designed to break the cycle with the delay and replace strategy, primarily focusing on the alternative, safer methods of self harm, as well as carefully chosen, sterile first aid supplies specifically for cutting style wounds.
They DO NOT contain blades or any items designed for cutting.
Our kits are designed for both young people and adults.
However, due to safeguarding, we will not knowingly sell our kits directly to anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, and need a kit, please reach out to your parent or caregiver, who can purchase a kit on your behalf 🔞
Always take advice from any professionals working with your family to ensure an S&L Safe Cut Kit® is right for your situation.
