Self Injury Awareness Day - March 1st
1st March is Self Injury Awareness Day.
SIAD is a global awareness day, and yet it is not supported by any nations' governments, because it is a grass-roots idea. Somehow, in the mists of time, the date was set as the 1st of March, and organizations around the world make extra efforts to raise awareness about self-injury.
The color that represents this day is orange. Some people wear an orange ribbon, but in the past SIAD bracelets have been worn. You should wear the following colors accordingly:
- Orange bracelet if you self harm;
- Orange and white bracelet if you used to;
- White bracelet if you have never self harmed but understand.
If you care about this issue and would like to help raise awareness about this day, post this in your own journal. Help spread the word!
