SIARI aims to raise awareness about self-injury, as well as offering hope, support, and enlightenment to those who self-injure, their kith and kin, and those who work alongside people who hurt themselves.
Befrienders listen to people who are lonely, despairing or considering suicide. They don't judge them, don't tell them what to do. They listen. That may not sound much - but it can make the difference between life and death.
The LifeSIGNS booklet is written by the Directors of LifeSIGNS who have personal experience of self-injury. This third edition has been revised and expanded to consider self-injury from a personal and professional point of view, and addresses issue about self-help, self-injury in schools, and how parents and health care workers can help someone who self-injures. People who self-injure will recognise the frank material in this booklet, and carers and friends will discover more about how to address self-injury.
