This study aims to test the feasibility of a brief psychosocial intervention and to obtain pilot data to determine whether the administration of a postcard over a 6 month period (4 postcards in total) reduces self-harm, improves mood and decreases perceived defeat and entrapment in the short-term (6 months). We plan to use the effect sizes from this pilot study to inform the sample size calculations for a larger, more definitive trial.
