Awareness about self-harm and support to self-harmers, with different techniques, milestones, checkups, and new dialogue and spritepacks
This submod is designed to help people that harm themselves in some way as well as to raise awareness and provide some insights for people who are willing to learn more about this phenomenon in particular.
However, original authors, contributors, and repository maintainers do not glorify self-harm, suicide, or any other (self-)destructive behavior nor provide professional psychological help.
If you're currently experiencing a need for psychological/psychiatric help, please consider getting professional help from people working with this sort of issues specifically as this mod is not intended as a medical, psychological or any other sort of professional advice; its only purpose is to bring awareness about self-harm or verbally support people going through hard times.
If you desperately need help, seek professional psychological, psychiatrical or other appropriate help; there's always hope!

Warning
This section may contain spoilers to the submod content/topics. It probably isn't quite important when you're facing a problem, but still.
Her introduction topic is random and will show up sometime in the future, sooner or later (depends on how many unseen random topics you still have.) Be patient, you'll see it eventually.
Make sure you installed the mod correctly, following the instructions on the
release page.
Namely, path to the submod in your game folder must look exactly like this:
(your DDLC folder) > game > Submods > Self Harm Awareness Submod
Please mind the uppercase S in Submods and that there are no duplicated
folders (like game > game) and you have downloaded the submod from the releases page.
Please. So many people keep trying to install development version of the submod by pressing that green/blue 'Code' button instead of following the guide. Please follow the guide instead.
This was a known bug that existed for a while until versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4; if you have double checked that your submod version is the latest, please create an issue.
No, seriously. We couldn't ever reproduce it. Please give us some info if you can.
