Hosted by Stacee Goetzinger and Brittany Tinsley, Held Even Here was born out of the realization that too many people — those who struggle, those who love them, and those in communities who care for them — feel alone and under-equipped in the face of self-injury. Widely misunderstood and highly stigmatized, self-harm is often met with fear, silence, or oversimplified answers that leave those struggling feeling more isolated than before.

Stacee and Brittany come to this work not as clinicians, but as people who have lived inside these stories. Both have known what it is to cope through self-injury, and what it takes to slowly, imperfectly learn another way. Brittany and Stacee speak from lived experience, a shared faith in Christ, and a commitment to creating spaces where honesty is met with gentleness rather than judgment, and invite others into their stories with hard-earned tenderness and hope.
