New Logo, refreshed organisation!
This refreshed and revised website will grow and grow during 2008, and we'd like to wish all our members and visitors a Happy Christmas - with our best wishes for the new year ahead.
FirstSigns is a user-lead voluntary organisation - we aim to raise awareness about self-injury in the UK and beyond.
We offer non-judgemental and non-directional support and guidance; we don't believe in telling people to 'stop self-injurying' - that doesn't make sense to us - we believe in helping people seek alternative coping mechanisms while they address their emotional issues.
