"'Hear Me' is an art exhibition by young people who self harm, first shown in Luton in 2006. The young people involved in the project developed the ideas for each piece out of their own experiences. The result is a powerful insight into why young people harm, their inner struggles about what they do, and their plea to be understood by their friends and family, and by all of us.
In March 2006, the exhibition opened with both local and national media attention. The honesty and power of the work moved the hundreds who came to see it. For many, it was the first time they had heard young people talking so openly about self harm. An audio track of the young people talking about their experiences added to the impact. We are making some of the material from 'Hear Me' available to download from this page. Income from sales will go towards further developing our work with young people who self harm."

Our staff work across the secondary schools and colleges of Luton providing a huge range of therapeutic and chaplaincy services. But we're not content to stop there.

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as He (God) was there for us - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4"
