Self-Injury Support

The SIS organisation was set up in 1988 by a committed group of women who wanted to positively transform self-injury and mental health support services in their community.

A significant amount of change and development has taken place since 1988, but their core aims remain the same:

  • To relieve sickness and promote the health of women who self-injure and are emotionally distressed, by offering support to such women and their families
  • To advance the education of the public about self-injury and mental health issues through the provision of training and information
