First
Signs is the user-led voluntary organisation, founded by Wedge
in 2002, to raise awareness about self-injury and give support
to those who rely on self-injury as a coping mechanism. We
provide a safe, friendly support forum, ideas for distraction
techniques and healthier alternatives; as well as practical
advice such as how to ask for help. Our services extend to
guidance for friends, family, teachers and carers, including
fact sheets to download. There is also a specific Professional
Section with a variety of resources and articles. Beyond our
website there is a vibrant online community, regularly updated
blog and mobile site for when you are on the move.
