The North West has the highest levels of child self harm in the country - with those figures tripling in the past decade, and a 600% increase in the 9-12 year old age group. So what can be done to help? Mel Barham speaks to an incredibly brave 13 year old about her experiences, and a Liverpool charity Open Door, which is doing things a bit differently in a bid to help and reduce waiting lists for those who need help.
