Spreading Awareness...

As a lot of you probably know, March 1st is Self Injury Awareness Day, so I've been trying to spread awareness where I can. I printed off a bunch of pamphlets, posters and information and dropped one of them off at the clinic today, another I'll drop off at the high school and the third I'm going to drop off at my counselors office. Each package I taylored for each place they're going to.

I'm really scared about bringing the one to the school, since when I was IN high school I tried to put a donation jar in the main office for Hug A Bull (a pit bull rescue based out of Vancouver) and the woman in the office was VERY rude and mean about it, and I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon crying in the bathroom :S But I'm going to swallow my fears, go there and just drop it off with a smile and grace, because this is very important to me, and I won't let some nasty stuck up office lady stop me!

That's great! I actually didn't know about March 1st- thank you so much for posting. I think it'd be great if lots of people decided to do something to help spread awareness. I'll see what I can do :)

*hugs* great job!

Thats amazing, I would love to do something like that, but wouldn't have the courage! My contribution is just going to be to wear something Orange :)

Thanks guys! I was hoping this post would inspire others to help spread awareness too!

http://www.scar-tissue.net/aware.html that's a website I found a lot of good info and ideas on! And here are some posters I made that everyone is more than welcome to use!
