Calm Harm App for Android
Why try it?
Calm Harm provides tasks that help you resist or manage the urge to self harm. You can add your own tasks too and it’s completely private and password protected.
What does it do?
The four categories of tasks target the main reasons for why people self harm. Distract helps to combat the urge by learning self control; Comfort helps to care rather than harm; Express gets those feelings out in a different way and Release provides safe alternatives to self injury.
Will it work?
The app is developed for stem4 by Dr Krause, Consultant Clinical Psychologist using ideas from an evidence based therapy called DBT. The focus is to help learn to identify and manage your ‘emotional mind’ with positive impact. The app enables you to track your progress. Please note that the app is an aid in treatment but does not replace it.
I'd remove the having to type in a password to get help. I just see it as an obstacle rather than something to keep your emotions private
I cannot choose an actovoty just the random button. Works amazing though. I have Samsung Galaxy S3
A brilliant little app it's helping me battle my depression and self harm urges...stay strong everyone who is battling depression
Wow, to be honest, I didn't think this'd help all that much but...Just wow. This is the first time ever that I've managed to evade the urge to cut. It was really effective and did the job for me, gave me a few good ideas and all. I'm really happy I came across it, I thank the creators from the bottom of my heart. You did me a huge favor today. ♡
As another user said, I can't choose a specific activity unless I click the random button. My phone is a Galaxy Note 2
After being stuck in this for 7 years this app helped me start getting better
I love it. It's already helping quite a bit.
I have just started to use this app. So far it had been greatly helpful. I hope that one day it will allow me to break my everlasting depression. Props to the creator of this app.
So, I self harm and this actually makes it better, no problems with the app at all. I hope it will help me.

Really helped
Hello. Today I found out about this great app through talklife and I REALLY, REALLY liked it. I had the intention to share it on my instagram page as part of a small campaign we're part of in a class. I'm a psychology student, 4th year, and just wanted to know if I had your approval because I thought it'd be totally beneficial towards the group it's aimed to, which are adolescents, teens.
It has helped me so much when I need it I'm a week clean now and I hope to continue that way with this app
But it needs some more activities. And chocolate in comfort lol
After i had a 15 minute promises app made someone told me it already existed. Was pretty surprised. But i checked it out and this is a great app. I have recommended this app to others when i was asked about distraction techniques. Very detailed and helpful.
