Self-Injury Awareness day is only two weeks away, so if you want to get involved then why not have a look at the SIAD page on the LifeSIGNS website. We have everything you need to make this SIAD a success, including template letters for you to send to newspapers, radio shows and MP’s. Or why […]
I just noticed, after years of Google giving LifeSIGNS a PageRank score of 4 out of 10, we’ve just gone up to 5!Check for yourself! Only the largest, most popular websites have a PageRank of 9 or 10, for LifeSIGNS to get 5 must mean that some decent, high-quality websites are linking to us – […]
Women’s Own magazine are hoping to do a feature on adult self-injury, in time for SIAD, which is great. We’re always pleased to get LifeSIGNS members involved with raising awareness within the Media, and I hope you’ll consider joining our ‘Media Alert Team’ mailing list so we can email you with any Media Requests and […]
We are ever so proud of this edition of LifeSHINES, it’s got so much in it! Jules has written an important article about bullying; a gentleman has written an insightful and moving story of how he discovered his wife’s SI; Cait has written about telling her Mum about her SI; and we feature poems from […]
When Wedge first suggested I might like to write a personal account of self-injury, I had mixed feelings. I’m a writer and I love writing, but to write about myself, and especially something so personal, I wasn’t too sure. I added the task to my to-do list and left it for a couple of days. […]
We have the best Message Board! We really do, and here’s why. We’ve got a large, vibrant and friendly community of supportive people who understand self-injury – and we’ve got a great Moderator team to run the Board, keep it safe, and to help Members around the forums; We’ve just upgraded the software of our […]

It’s all to raise awareness in time for Self-Injury Awareness Day, and anything Orange is welcome. Thanks to Jenny for setting the […]
It’s always a pleasure to see Dr. Neil and help out in his classes at the (not so) nearby teaching hospital. Last month I spoke to a class of qualified doctors, today I spoke to a lively class of medical doctors who, I think, were in their psychiatry module of their ongoing education and training. […]
While Wedge was working hard upgrading our Message Board yesterday, I spent the day packaging all the wristbands and keyrings that had been pre-ordered. As you can see, it was quite a task, and kept me occupied for most of the day. With packages being sent all round the world, I had a little production […]
LifeSIGNS SI Awareness Wristbands and fantastic Keyrings are now in our possession and we have uploaded some great pics to the website, so have a look and admire them for real here. Both wristbands and keyrings are selling well, so thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered them – we will be sending them out […]
Earlier this month Wedge asked me to re-write our Mission Statement. The old one was tired and dull and it certainly needed revamping. Wedge asked for something ‘inspirational and aspirational’ to carry LifeSIGNS swiftly into the future, so I set to work. My first task was to engage the members of our Strategic Guidance Group, […]
