If you'd like our team to reach out to the individual, follow these steps:

1. Visit their profile and tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner.
2. Tap 'report user' and select 'self harm'
3. Tell us about the origin of your concern— did you see something in a post? Did it come up in a private conversation? Please share as much as you feel comfortable.
4. Tap 'submit'
