New SI awareness wristbands for 2015

By JulesIn Organisation Announcements, Raising Awareness, Self-Injury Awareness Day [SIAD]Tags self injury awareness wristbands, wristband, wristbands

We change our wristbands slightly each year; the wording is always new, and we sometimes include purple with the traditional orange colour. This year we've gone back to plain orange, but with a glow. That's right, our 2015 wristbands glow in the dark!

No more silence

What we’re doing about self-injury

We've been raising awareness about self-injury since 2002. Now, we need to help create understanding.

LifeSIGNS us run by volunteers with personal experience of self-injury - and we need your help.

There are people of all ages suffering in silence - believing they are alone.

There are teachers and parents confused and frightened by what their pupils and children are 'doing to themselves'.

We need your help to reach more people.

We welcome your articles and donations. £1 is a lot of money to us (because we have no paid staff), so please help us.
