"To Write Love on Her Arms" (TWLOHA) is a non-profit organization that aims to provide support and resources for those struggling with mental health, addiction, self-harm, and suicide. Their mission is to inspire hope, compassion, and recovery for people who are struggling, as well as to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding these issues.
TWLOHA was founded in 2006 by Jamie Tworkowski, who wanted to help his friend Renee Yohe, who was struggling with addiction, depression, and self-harm. He wrote a story about her journey and sold t-shirts with the phrase "To Write Love on Her Arms" to help cover her treatment costs. The response was overwhelming, and the organization has since grown into a global movement.
TWLOHA offers various programs and resources, including an online community, a treatment and recovery directory, a university speaking tour, and a blog with personal stories and mental health information. They also partner with other organizations to provide support and resources for those in need.
There are many ways to get involved with TWLOHA, such as donating, volunteering, hosting a fundraiser, attending events, and purchasing merchandise. You can also follow them on social media and help spread awareness about mental health and the organization's mission.
No, TWLOHA is for anyone who is struggling with mental health, addiction, self-harm, or suicide. While the organization's name may suggest that it is only for women, they support and welcome people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. Their goal is to provide hope and help to anyone who needs it.
