OBJECTIVE: to learn though the Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) the factors related to non-suicidal self-harm in adolescents and their contribution to coping strategies. METHOD: a qualitative study, conducted with adolescents who participated in the Integrative Community Therapy wheels, which were saved and recorded in a field diary. Thematic analysis was used and it was based on the Life Skills Model. RESULTS: self-harm has emerged on six wheels, as a theme or wrapped in other suffering. The following categories emerged from the analysis: "Adolescence and non-suicidal self-harm: Anguish relief" and "Integrative Community Therapy Wheel: Therapeutic space" and its subcategories. CONCLUSIONS: adolescents find in non-suicidal self-harm a way to materialize and alleviate the suffering resulting from multiple factors. Community Therapy revealed a living space of sharing and re-signification of suffering.
