We recently received an email from Trisha, who works with people in her community. During the course of her work, she carried out a photo shoot and felt that LifeSIGNS may be interested in hearing about ‘Kitten’, a model with personal experience of self-injury, who chose to use her modeling opportunity to raise awareness and support for SI.
March is ‘Tell Someone ‘Month’ and we want to support you as you seek real-life help and spport.

A number of websites, prohects, resources and organisations are dedicated to serving and supporting young people with concerns around mental health and / or self-injury. ‘Young’ is a relative term of course, but in the UK, organisations often set the age limit at 25 years old. What does that say to ‘young adults’ who become ‘older adults’? What do all these resouces for younger people say to older adults, who may never have had support as a young adult or teenager? How do older people who turn to self-injury for the first time feel, and what are the differen issues they face?
Our Question and Answer book will tackle the most asked questions about self-injury. And we need yuour help to get it designed and published.
It’s Blog Action Day, and Wedge shares his (literal) ups and downs.
