Since April 2024, with the help of another SIRA member, I’ve been writing thematic monthly newsletters for Self-Injury Recovery & Awareness (better known as SIRA), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people who suffer from self-injury. SIRA organizes free peer-support zoom meetings. For more information, check https://www.thesira.org
