MARCH FIRST
March 1st is #SelfInjuryAwarenessDay which focuses on increasing awareness, providing support on something that is commonly misunderstood and widely overlooked due to lack of education. In 2023, IASP said “Although self-harm data around the world is not available, studies have estimated that it affects around 14.6 million individuals every year.”
Making the time and space to listen to someone about their experiences with distress or thoughts of self-harm and connecting them to resources is ESSENTIAL.
This topic hits home. I’m here if you ever need an outlet. There are also trained crisis counselors with @988lifeline and @crisistextline 24/7.
🤍Treat yourself with grace, kindness, and love. Because YOU ARE LOVED!
🫂Many hugs,
Shepherds & Grace🐑
