Whilst not specific to cp or behaviour issues the Scope Face 2 Face service is a good way of contacting with other parents:

The situation sounds serious if she is hurting herself so, if you haven't already done so, it would be advisable to talk to your GP and ask that s/he refer you to a source of professional support if appropriate.
Best Wishes
