Self-injury Awareness Day From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The orange ribbon of self-harm awareness. Self-injury Awareness Day (SIAD) is a grassroots annual global awareness event / campaign on March 1,[1] where on this day, and in the weeks leading up to it, some people choose to be more open about their own self-harm, and awareness organizations make special efforts to raise awareness about self-harm and self-injury. Some people wear an orange awareness ribbon, write "LOVE" on their arms, draw a butterfly on their wrists in awareness of "the Butterfly Project" wristband or beaded bracelet to encourage awareness of self-harm.[2] The goal of the people who observe SIAD is to break down the common stereotypes surrounding self-harm and to educate medical professionals about the condition ** Wikipedia is the source of this posting.
