Abstract
Previous research has shown connections between trauma, social support, and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Our findings show cumulative social support significantly moderates the relationship between cumulative trauma and NSSI behavior. When examining specific types of social support (friend, family, special someone), only friend support was a protective factor against NSSI.
