Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious, yet common, mental health concern among young people. Up to 10% of adolescents and emerging adults engage in NSSI every year and are at increased risk for future suicide attempts. As such, there is an urgent need to better understand how to prevent in-the-moment instances of NSSI in reallife. Despite our understanding of long-term predictors that developmentally explain who is at risk of beginning ...
