By WedgeIn Organisation Announcements, Raising Awareness, TrainingTags Organisation Announcements, Raising Awareness, real-life

Wristbands may come in 2021

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.
