Self-harm is a behaviour that can affect people of all ages and is often used as a coping mechanism to manage overwhelming emotions such as distress, anxiety, burnout and emotional exhaustion. Alongside the physical effects, self-harm can also have a significant impact on mental wellbeing, often leading to feelings of guilt, shame and isolation.
For many people who self-harm through cutting, the sight of blood can form part of the coping mechanism. This product has been designed to provide a safer alternative by recreating that visual element without causing injury. It is intended to support people who are looking for safer coping strategies as part of their wider recovery.
Developed by a mental health professional with extensive first-hand experience supporting people who self-harm, this blood roller has been carefully created to provide a realistic visual effect in a safe and consistent way.
With many years of experience working within schools, mental health facilities (including secure units), and counselling services for both children and adults, I have supported people experiencing self-harm, suicidal thoughts and mental health crises. Holding a degree in Psychology & Sociology and a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, I created these support kits to provide practical, accessible coping tools for difficult moments.
Each kit includes one 10ml glass blood roller bottle, filled with my own specially formulated imitation blood solution, created from four carefully selected components to provide a realistic visual appearance.
Please note: The solution may stain fabrics or clothing but washes off skin with soap and water.
