Harm-to-self or others refers to actions that intentionally cause physical injury or damage to oneself or another person. This includes behaviors like self-harm, such as cutting or burning, and acts of violence or aggression toward others. Recognizing these behaviors is important because they can indicate underlying emotional distress or mental health concerns.

The goal is to ensure safety for everyone involved and help individuals find healthier ways to cope with their feelings or situations.
