Dual harm among patients in the Ontario forensic mental health system
Dual harm is present among forensic patients in Ontario, and self-harm is prevalent among individuals with various forms of aggression, especially when the violence was perpetrated towards objects. Strategies to manage the risk of self-harm among aggressive patients should be put in place to mitigate dual harm and the associated complications, especially among individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
