to write love on her arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. a long time supporter of this organization, i have still always felt slightly undereducated on the subject of self abuse/cutting, though i’ve always felt an intense empathy towards the emotional mindfield that impacts people who suffer pain so strong it creates a need to use coping mechanisms for relief, sometimes involving negative impulsive behavior.

recently TWLOHA has teamed up with kristen brooks hope center (1-800-SUICIDE) for “IM alive,” the first online peer to peer support system fighting against depression and suicide. personal experiences with suicide have been a huge part of my life and have truly impacted who i have grown into as a a person. a close friend who works with TWLOHA brought this new project to my attention, a venture i foresee building hope for everyone…from people closely or personally effected by suicide and depression to anyone who belives in life and its beauty. i plan hope to become more involved and do whatever i can to help support this cause.
