Here For My Girlfriend

Hey everyone.
I joined this forum for this section, because my girlfriend of nearly two years self-harms and has done so for years now. I've done my best to help and support her; we talk about her problems, I research alternatives and preventative methods for her (not because she asks, but because I want to; she doesn't like to ask for help so I always offer) and just generally try to be there for her. She's very special to me and an incredibly important part of my life. She's tried so hard to stop, and opening to someone for the first time was very hard for her as before I addressed the issue nobody else had done so, and she's been so brave and I'm so proud of her.
She's recently gotten into some therapy after months of waiting and I'm so happy for her. The reason I'm posting here is that I am wondering if there is anything else I can do for her; for example, if something that you've done for a loved one has really helped them.
Thanks in advance :)
