New podcast going live on #SIAD

Episode one to go live at 10am tomorrow for #SIAD This will be a very short introduction episode asking what self harm actually is and briefly running through my own experiences. Episode 2 will start looking at the complex question of why people self harm

It's #SIAD & there will be a lot of important stuff shared today, but something I would really like to highlight is this blog series from last year by Self injury Support of under representated stories. Afterall it's important that all experiences get a voice shortest.link/iqo0

This is a good thread of resources to help people to gain a deeper understanding of self injury/harm

Starting next week we hope to start sharing guest blogs from people with lived experience of self harm We are particularly interested in hearing from people who feel they are not represented by the current narrative Will have some contribution guidelines up in the next few days

Episode 2 "it's just for attention" is currently getting recorded and hopefully will be ready for release tomorrow! 👍

Episode 2 is out now! In this episode I discuss the idea of self harm being "just for attention" The transcript can be found in the website thelureofselfdestruction.wordpress.com/transcripts/
