The Day of Self-Awareness Awareness ( SIAD ) (also known as Awareness Awareness Day ) is a grassroots annual global awareness event/campaign in March 1 , where on this day, and in the weeks leading up and after, some people choose to be more open about their own dangers, and awareness organizations make special efforts to raise awareness about self-harm and self-injury. Some people wear orange vigilance bands, write "LOVE" on their arms, drawing butterflies on their wrists with the awareness of the "Butterfly Project" bracelet or beaded bracelet to encourage awareness of self-harm. The goal of people observing SIAD is to undermine the general stereotype that hurts oneself and to educate medical professionals about the condition.

Depression and self-harm often go hand in hand, although there are many other reasons that are self-defeating. As many as two million Americans are currently engaged in self-harm, with methods such as cutting, scratching, bruising, and beating themselves, along with other more dangerous methods. It is said that this behavior enhances feelings of control and helps to relieve tension, while helping people express their emotions and escape the numbness that accompanies depression.
SIAD was created to spread awareness and understanding of self-injury, which is often misunderstood and misunderstood in the mainstream. Those who hurt themselves are often left alone and afraid to seek help because they fear they will be considered "crazy."
