VISIBLE MEMORIES
a film about self injury
The issue of self-injury is surrounded by stigma and misunderstanding. Such behaviour is often labelled as attention seeking or, mistakenly, as attempted suicide. When they come into contact with traditional health and social care agencies, people who self-injure often feel the treatment they receive exacerbates rather than relieves the situation.
Visible Memories allows people who self-injure to describe their experiences. They tell us some of the reasons why they self-injure and what approaches they find helpful or unhelpful. The film shows examples of statutory and voluntary agencies where there is good practice. Setting self-injury in a more general context of self-harm, the film argues that such behaviour is a valid coping mechanism for dealing with internal emotional distress, and that consequently, the challenge for those who do not self-injure is to come to terms with their own feelings in relating to those who do.
The film is also available for purchase on DVD at £5 per DVD.
If you would like to purchase please make a donation through our website – www.mindincroydon.org.uk/fundraising/donate/ – and email the receipt to admin@mindincroydon.org.uk with the name and address you would like it posted to.

Pension Protection Fund Deliver Festive Cheer
Once again, our very good friends at the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) have exceeded our expectations with their kindness and generosity. Today they visited the Hub with Christmas Hampers for the members and a massive pile of Christmas gifts for the children of members. Thank you so much to everyone at the PPF for their kindness, thoughtfulness and for making Christmas go with a swing.
It’s looking a lot like Christmas . .
At our shop in Addiscombe. Largely due to the skill and dedication of all of the staff and volunteers, the Mind in Croydon shop in Addiscombe is looking absolutely fantastic. In particular, our wonderful volunteer, Adrian, has created new Christmas decorations for the shop that are absolutely stunning. He has also crafted beautiful Christmas centrepiece decorations which are for sale. We are all so appreciative of his efforts and his talents. Quite rightly, the shop has been shortlisted for an award for its appearance. So get down to 289 Lower Addiscombe Road,
Croydon, Surrey, CR0 6RE to have a look at the shop, get some last minute gifts and support the work of Mind in Croydon.
