One girl’s good efforts for SIAD!

A few days before self-injury awareness day we received an email from an incredibly enthusiastic woman named Ana who distributed our posters and wristbands:

“When I saw there was so much info on your site about Self Harm and being a Self Harmer myself, I felt I had to get the word out to people who do this to let them know they are not alone! I was so relieved to find there were others who SH and I’m sure anyone suffering from this who feel alone would find it reassuring as well. I bought some wristbands and wear one and also gave one to my husband and family, along with a girl who is suffering from SH and her mother in Virginia. I downloaded and sent letters of recognition and information about SH to the governor of my state, 2 local newspapers and 4 local news channels. I’m going to EVERY school (grade schools, high schools and universities) in this valley (Treasure) and then next (Magic) to post the posters about SH awareness.”

She then asked if there was anything else she could do for SIAD! I’d just like to thank her very much for her efforts and for feeling the motivation to get that awareness out there :)
