Student Services has a webpage dedicated to self-help resources – please note that some of the guidance contains sensitive information that may be triggering for some.

Self-help guides:

• NHS: Self-harm, a self-help guide
• The National Self Harm Network: What is self harm?

Support services:

• Harmless
• Mind 
• Togetherall (available to students only)
• Employee Assistance Programme (available to staff only)

Apps:

• The Loughborough Wellbeing app
• My Healthy Advantage app – this has a live chat function if needed

A butterfly campaign will also be run on the HeadsUp Twitter page to mark the day. People draw a butterfly on themselves, create a butterfly badge or wear something with butterflies on to: 

• Raise awareness of support services
• Support those who have experienced self injury in the past 
• Reduce the stigma surrounding self injury to encourage those who experience it to seek help

You can share photos of your butterflies using the hashtag #SIAD and tagging @lboroheadsup.
