dc.description.abstractIn today‘s society, which faces constant technological and social changes, there is a growing number of threats to the physical and mental health of children, adolescents and adults. These challenges, including pressure to perform, the influence of social media and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, contribute significantly to social isolation and an increase in mental health problems, particularly self-harm, especially among children and young people. The aim of this paper is to analyse the phenomenon of self-harm, its characteristics, causes, functions and manifestations. We understand self-harm as a maladaptive strategy for coping with intense emotional tension and emptiness, which differs from suicidal behaviour. Adolescence is considered a critical developmental period characterised by the search for identity and is most often cited as the initial period of self-harm. Other risk factors include the family environment and the influence of digital technologies, including the phenomenon of online self-harm. The article also lists typical signs that can be used to identify self-harm in adolescents from the perspective of parents or members of the school support team. Understanding the emotional triggers and functions of this behaviour is key to effective identification, support and assistance.
