I just found this organization and tomorrow is the day. Write love on your arm to show support and to let others know that cutting, self-harm, suicide and depression are treatable.
Savannah has been cutting for 2 years and burning herself with cigarettes about 6 months. i don’t understand the release it brings her, but it does do something for her, helps her cope in some way, helps her control her anger, etc. so many other kids do it–even AJ did some too. It is so sad to see all this destruction and self hate in these kids. Go to www.twloha.com to learn more.
| 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. |
| The vision is that we actually believe these things⦠|
| You were created to love and be loved. You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important and that you’re part of a bigger story. You need to know that your life matters. |
| November 13th is the 2nd Annual To Write Love on Her Arms Day. Itâs simple, write LOVE on your arm tomorrow and hopefully encourage someone who may be handling a tough situation. |
