SI Awarenes Day
March 1st 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 organisations around the world make extra efforts to raise awareness ready for SIAD.
The colour for some reason is orange. Some people wear an orange ribbon, but in the past SIAD bracelets have been worn:
Plain Orange - Self Harm (Awareness) or if you Self Harm
Orange with 1 white - Trying to stop Self Harm
Orange and White - Recovered Self Harmer
White - You never Self Harmed but you understand
Yellow and Orange - Suicidal and Self Harm
Blue and Red - Depression/Mental Illness and Eating Disorders
If you agree that people should be made aware of this issue and this day, re-post this in your journal.
