But it's just a machine that asks you to leave your name and number so that they will give you information about a specific program. I was stupid, and hung up without leaving my name or anything. I want to call back and actually leave my name to get information...
But apparently this number is for the S.A.F.E. Alternatives program, a place in Illinois. I doubt I can just up and leave my home and drive all the way to Illinois. I can't enter this program right now.
But does anyone know about the place I'm talking about? Has anyone ever been there, or contacted the people? I'm just really curious about it, even though I probably can't go.
If anyone has ever entered into this program, or been involved with these people, I would love to hear feedback about your experiences. Or, if you just know something about them, that'd be good too.
Thanks so much.

I have heard of this program. I have read a book written because of their program. They explain how the program works and how it helps. It explains reasons for cutting and ways to work through the issues. It helped me stop cutting. The book was "Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Healing Program for Self-Injurers". It is about the S.A.F.E program. I hope this helps! = )

I suggest you get some real therapy with a Psychologist or psychiatrist face to face. It is the best and remember you are worth a lot and deserve good care.

I don't know about them but I suggest you call and leave a message. They may have resources that are close to where you live that they can refer you to.

I hope you get a live person, but you should be talking to a person live. They will be able to counsel you and direct you to get help for this. Good luck.
