Group Facilitator:  Vicki Duffy, founder of Launching Point.

 

History of the group:

  • The first support group meeting took place on November 4, 2005, when it was called "BSSI". The only support group in New Jersey, it was designed to be positive & uplifting. The support group took place twice monthly for 3 years. With the addition of UnShackled, a self-injury recovery program, the support group was reduced to once monthly with the new name of Beyond Bandages.

Please note: While attending any self-injury support group or recovery program at Launching Point, it is expected that a person refrain from self harming for the duration of the group.
