| SIAM |
| SIAM stands for Self-Injury Awareness Movement. We (Bri and myself, see the Note below) are encouraging current and former self-injurers to wear bracelets to help fight the stigma and shame associated with self-injury. We thought that current self-injurers could wear orange beaded bracelets (very inexpensive, just go to a craft store and get orange beads, and some stretchy string -the type made for bracelets-), and ex self-injurers could wear an orange and white bracelet. It's also to remind yourself of the battle that you face on a daily basis, and that *you are surviving*! Feel free to take this ribbon and put it up on your site! Just right click and then choose "Save Picture As". Also- if you have a website, feel free to put this information up on your site- the more people that know, the better!! Note: Bri (webmistress of Bittersweet Crimson Tears) thought this up, I take credit for nothing other than being supporitive & the different bracelet for former SI's idea. :) She wrote a lot of the stuff up there too, I am just not creative enough to think of it for myself. (Bri wrote all of the following!) SIAM has really taken off lately. There has been a seperate website set up dedicated to the cause. Much thanks to Crowlia for setting that up and running it! Soon there will be a way for you to order bracelets and ribbons (to support those who SI) through the site. For the most up-to-date info, check out the forums at Psyke. Thanks! |
