Some of the worst injuries are those inflicted by your own self, and since it is impossible to escape from that cause of harm, one of the only ways to find relief is through organizations like the Kenilworth Clinic. As their latest ad campaign reads, "You don't have to be the victim of your addiction. Let's end the struggle and help you start the healing."

Conceived and executed by Cape Town-based ad agencies [TBWA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-product-test), Hunt and Lascaris, the Kenilworth Clinic ad campaign shows two bodies ravaged by self-inflicted injuries. These startling images are all that is needed to drive the message home that a person doesn't have to be alone while [suffering from addiction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-device-addiction). Although the Kenilworth Clinic ad campaign is hard to look at, it is this [shock value](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prevent-child-abuse-america) that will hopefully help someone.
