With SIAD nearly upon us it’s really positive to see articles in the media which make reference to it. This is a generally good article, although it does suggest that self-injury only affects teenagers – one of our frequent niggles at LifeSIGNS! The picture might be upsetting or triggering to some people, so please be careful if you decide to look at the article.

The best part is that LifeSIGNS is mentioned where it says “For several years now, groups like the English-based LifeSIGNS and the American Self-Harm Information Clearinghouse, have campaigned for cities, states and nations to recognize March 1 as Self-Injury Awareness Day. ” – unfortunately no link to our website is given, but this is still fantastic news! In West Virginia it is hoped that SIAD will become an officially recognised day, so finger crossed :o)

Roll on SIAD is all I have to say! Oh, and please pre-order the 2007 booklet – remember it will be available for FREE download on Thursday, but will be available to those in the UK as a hard copy for just £5 + £1 P&P.!
