seems like a worthy initiative to me. I lived with someone who had the eating disorder known as bulimia / anorexia nervosa - its a living hell for them and for others in the family. Teen self harm is a very real very serious problem. Would not be surprised to know that teen self harm is happening at much higher rate and frequency than ever before. Initiatives intended to help mitigate those problems should be welcomed.
