Self-injury book from FirstSigns

New book for 2010, in time for Self-Injury Awareness Day (1st March)

Pre-orders will be taken in February, and the book will physically be in your hands on the 1st of March

FirstSigns Members will be able to download a free PDF soft-copy for their personal use!

We're keeping the title of our new book secret until February, but our new book covers many tricky topics around the subject of self-injury and self-harm, discussing the surrounding difficulties a person who self-injures faces, and how parents, teachers, counsellors, nurses, doctors and friends can help them.

The book will be available to pre-order in February, and will be posted to you so that it arrives on Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD).

A PDF version will be made available for download for members of FirstSigns.

OMGosh tell me when it's available!

FirstSigns (Self-Injury Guidance & Network Support) is an online, user-led voluntary organisation, founded in 2002 to raise awareness about self-injury and provide information and support to people of all ages affected by self-injury. We recognise self-injury is a way of coping with distressing experiences and difficult emotions, and we encourage people to reflect on the issues behind their self-injury, and to develop and explore alternative coping mechanisms.
FirstSigns is managed and lead by people with personal experience of self-injury, and we are non-judgemental, non-directional, and respectful of our members’ and visitors’ life experiences and perceptions. The FirstSigns website is the centre of our vibrant community, and provides access to all of our services, including our newsletter, book and training – www.firstsigns.org.uk
