Welcome to Equilibrium
Description
A committee of 10 people manage Equilibrium. Our main aim is to promote awareness and understanding of self-injury. We hope to achieve this by producing a series of high profile short films and dissemination packs devised with the online community of our site through using the forums. The web site itself is shaped by it’s users, the content on the web pages was created for us by our users. If you would like to submit further information or discuss pages please click here.
Equilibrium is designed to help educate and support people who self harm and their family and friends. This the first project of it's kind, once completed, the site will have a support board, user orientated galleries (photos and artwork), personal literature, coping mechanisms, directory of organisations/websites, alternative therapies, grounding tips, first aid support, explanations of various forms of self injury, self diagnosis charts, video/audio diaries, and even the possibility of online counselling and/or therapy.
What makes this project truly unique is it's media and training policy. Once we have the necessary funds, we will produce a series of short films which will be devised working with the online community of the site via the message boards. Each of these films will have a tailored resource pack similar to that of teacher resource packs which will enable effective workshops on developing an understanding of self harm and creating awareness of mental health issues. These film and resource packs will be targeted towards schools and youth clubs.
