Gentle guidance on emotional health and preventing self-harm among autistic girls in Campbelltown.

Wellbeing is important for every teenager, but autistic teens may face deeper stress that is hard to share. In Campbelltown, you can find calm, trusted support to help your child manage big feelings and avoid self-harm.

Why Some Teens Self-Harm

Autistic teens often feel emotions very strongly. Some cannot find the words to explain what worries them. Stress can build up when school, friendships or family changes feel too much.



Sometimes self-harm becomes a way to let out pain they do not know how to say. It is not for “attention”. It is a sign they need gentle support.

Simple Steps To Support Wellbeing

Teach Safe Coping Tools

Practise these when they feel okay. This way, they can remember what works when stress feels big.

Help your teen find safe ways to calm down when feelings build up. You can try:

• Squeezing a stress ball or soft toy.
  
• Listening to music they love.
  
• Drawing or writing thoughts in a notebook.
  
• Taking a walk somewhere quiet.

Trusted places like Headspace or local psychologists understand autism and mental health. A calm chat with someone trained can help your teen feel less alone.

Using NDIS Supports

How Funding Can Help

Some families use sensory tools or calming aids. These can be funded too. Your NDIS plan may cover:

• Psychology sessions to build coping tools.
  
• Behaviour therapy if self-harm risk is high.
  
• Support workers for safe outings and breaks.
  
• Parent training to spot stress early.
  

Keeping Your Teen Safe At Home

Stay calm during tough moments. It shows them they are not in trouble for feeling big feelings.

• Remove sharp items when needed.
  
• Set up a calm space with pillows or a weighted blanket.
  
• Keep routines steady so your teen knows what to expect.
  
• Praise any effort they make to talk or use safer coping.
