Tiger Stripes
Trigger warning: The content of this production may be emotionally challenging. It contains references to themes of self-harm, which some individuals may find distressing.
Self-harm is still widely misunderstood, even as the number of people struggling with it in the UK continues to rise.
In this documentary, three women share their experiences across four stages, each defined by a question.
We meet a mother who wishes to remain nameless, whose child has been self-harming from a young age.
Khadija, a young woman in her 20s, describes self-harm as a way of coping with overwhelming emotions.
And a woman navigating motherhood, who also wants to stay anonymous but shares her story of still living with the urge to self-harm.
This is Tiger Stripes.
