TWLOHA stands for To Write Love on Her Arms. TWLOHA is a non-profit movement to raise awareness and encourage hope and recovery for people suffering from depression, self-harm, addiction and thoughts of suicide. Over 121 million people around the world suffer from depression; over half of them never get the help they need. Thirty percent of depressed teens develop substance abuse problems, self-harm problems, or commit suicide. Twenty to fifty percent of teens struggling with depression have a family history of depression. TWLOHA raises awareness and encourages hope and recovery for these people. Friday November 13 is To Write Love on Her Arms Day. People all over the world write “love” on their arms today to help raise awareness for this cause. Write love on your arm today to help this great cause and to show your support for people who are recovering.
