This blog is intended to be a hub for the Self-Injury Awareness Project at Nipissing Univeristy and Canadore College. It is my hope that we can use this site to provide information, get feedback, and raise awareness.
We have just concluded the SIAD 2006 project, and had very positive feedback from the schools and the community. Below is a phote taken by Kate Adams of BayToday.ca, a local online newspaper. The full article can be found here.
I hope that we can continue this project and expland it beyond the walls of the school and into the rest of North Bay. If you live in North Bay and attend Nipissing University or Canadore College and would like to become involved, email us at Nipissing_SIAD_2006@hotmail.com. Th email is checked regularly, so we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ms. Dupuis ;)
I'd love to start working on SIAD '07 as soon as exams are finished. I think we should start planning asap, especially if we're going to expand from our efforts this year.
I'd love to have a panel discussion on self-injury, and I'm certain that the Gender and/or Psychology departments would support us, maybe even give us some names.
I'd also like to see SIAD in schools. I know you had mentioned grades 7&8 as a starting point, but I think it might be a good idea to get into High Schools as well.
And yes, you will still have your "in" at Canadore next year.
Cheers!
Lacey,
That all sounds awesome! I'll be keeping people up-to-date as soon as I find out anything new, and I'll let people know as soon as we start planning!
