To Write Love on Her Arms: “I’m Better Than Yesterday Because…”

To Write Love on Her Arms

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA)  is an American non-profit dedicated to providing support to those struggling with depression, self-injury, addiction or thoughts of suicide.  The organization was founded in 2006 by Jamie Tworkowski, who sought to make a difference in one life and has since touched the lives of many.  TWLOHA aims to provide the members of its community with access to treatment options and resources that may otherwise seem out of reach.The organization has gained major exposure through celebrity endorsements, partnerships with brands and music tours, and an active presence on social networking sites.  In addition to sponsoring concerts, TWLOHA also hosts events on college campuses across the nation to engage with students and combat the stigma associated with mental illness.
