Organizations Filed Purposes: DEDICATED TO PRESENTING HOPE AND FINDING HELP FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF INJURY, AND SUICIDE. TWLOHA EXISTS TO ENCOURAGE, INFORM, INSPIRE, AND INVEST DIRECTLY INTO TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.

THE AWARENESS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST "RAISING AWARENESS." OUR GOAL IS TO MOVE PEOPLE FROM ISOLATION TO COMMUNITY, FROM SILENCE TO HONESTY, FROM PAIN TO HOPE AND HELP. WE BELIEVE THE WORK WE DO THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, VIDEO AND DESIGN PROJECTS, AND INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES GIVES US A CHANCE TO CHALLENGE THE STIGMA THAT SURROUNDS MENTAL HEALTH. IF THE ORIGINAL TWLOHA STORY PROVED ANYTHING, IT WAS THAT STORIES COULD HELP PEOPLE FEEL LESS ALONE. WE HOPE THE STORIES WE SHARE WILL BE A REMINDER THAT YOU MATTER.

THE EVENTS AND TOURS PROGRAM GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT MUSIC FESTIVALS AND TOURS, COLLEGE EVENTS, PLACES OF WORSHIP, AND COMMUNITY GATHERINGS AND PROVIDES TWLOHA WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET PEOPLE FACE-TO- FACE. GOING WHERE PEOPLE ARE GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE THERE TO CELEBRATE SOMEONE'S RECOVERY. WE GET TO BE THERE TO HAND OUT LOCAL RESOURCES TO SOMEONE LOOKING FOR HELP. WE GET TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE TELL THEIR STORIES AND SHARE THEIR STRUGGLES, AND WE GET TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO BELIEVE IN BETTER DAYS. THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT SPARK CHANGE AND CHALLENGE THE STIGMA THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES (DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF-INJURY, AND SUICIDE). EACH YEAR, WE ALSO LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING OUR ANNUAL FLAGSHIP EVENT. HEAVY AND LIGHT IS AN EVENING OF SONGS, CONVERSATION, AND HOPE. IT IS NOT A BENEFIT SHOW. IT IS NOT ABOUT "RAISING AWARENESS." IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE PEOPLE. EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS THE EVENT LEAVES WITH A LIST OF LOCAL RESOURCES, PLACES WHERE THEY CAN FIND PROFESSIONAL HELP IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

SUPPORTER ENGAGEMENT - TWLOHA WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THAT VOLUNTEERS CAN ENGAGE IN TO HELP US ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. OUR INTERN PROGRAM OFFERS THREE INTERNSHIP TERMS IN WHICH WE INVITE INDIVIDUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO JOIN US IN MELBOURNE, FL. INTERNS RECEIVE OUR MOVE TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SKILLS. THE INTERNS LIVE IN A COMMUNITY SETTING AND HELP OUR STAFF IN ALL AREAS OF OPERATIONS. INTERNS ARE INVITED TO JOIN US IN LEARNING HOW TO LIVE LIVES THAT ARE OPEN AND HONEST AND TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WHILE WORKING PASSIONATELY TO PRESENT HOPE AND HELP TO THOSE STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF-INJURY AND SUICIDE. THE MOVE COMMUNITY CONFERENCE IS HOW WE EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT THE TOPICS WE ADDRESS AT TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS: DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF-INJURY, SUICIDE, ANXIETY, EATING DISORDERS, AND THE ROLE A TRUSTED COMMUNITY PLAYS IN BRINGING HOPE TO THOSE WHO FEEL BROKEN. IN A ONE OR TWO-DAY WORKSHOP LED BY PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS, WE EXPLORE WHAT IS BEHIND THESE STRUGGLES, WHAT RECOVERY LOOKS LIKE, AND HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING. UCHAPTERS IS A NETWORK OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS ON COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES THAT EXISTS TO EMBODY THE MISSION AND VISION OF TWLOHA. THROUGH ON-CAMPUS EVENTS, PROGRAMMING, AND FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES, EACH CHAPTER SERVES AS A VOICE OF INSPIRATION AND EDUCATION FOR THEIR PEERS. MANY VOLUNTEERS DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO USE THEIR SKILLS AND TALENTS TO SUPPORT TWLOHA. THROUGH EITHER A SUPPORTER BENEFIT EVENT OR A PARTNERSHIP, SUPPORTERS CAN CREATE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR COMMUNITY OR WITHIN THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS TO HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR TWLOHA. IN ADDITION, THEY USE THE ACTIVITY OF RAISING FUNDS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE MESSAGE OF HOPE AND HELP IN A MEMORABLE WAY.
