"I attended the CPC Conference in May and heard your presentation and was much impressed.
"I think you demonstrated a great understanding of the subject and
delivered it with aplomb and humour."
Abby, Phd student
"Although his presentation followed talks by an eminent psychiatrist and highly-experience psychotherapist, and a heavy lunch, he was able to capture the attention of a room full of psychotherapists – no mean feat!"
Amy, MIND
"Content & presentation style of Wedge was brilliant - really held the audience."
"Fantastic use of user-led organisation to compliment the professionals."

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.selfinjury.org.uk
FirstSigns has effectively trained hundreds of health care professionals over the years, and is a respected information resource on the web for doctors, nurses and psychologists.
More than this, FirstSigns provides non-directive guidance and emotional support to people of all ages who live with the compulsion to self harm.
