To Write Love on Her Arms

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) is an American non-profit organization[1] which aims to present hope for people struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury and thoughts of suicide while also investing directly into treatment and recovery. Based in Melbourne, Florida, TWLOHA seeks to connect people to treatment centers, websites, books, support groups and other resources.[2] TWLOHA also encourages people to have honest conversations about these issues, and to live in community.

The organization's name is a direct reference to the first person that they ever helped, a young addict who self-harmed by cutting the words "Fuck Up" on her arm with a razor blade—with the group's founder writing an article hoping to help the addict to get cleaned up and "To write 'love' on her arms" instead.[3]

A large portion of the work is dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional treatment (i.e. rehab, counseling, helplines) and the lives of people who need help. Examples of this include music festivals and tours, social networking sites, and schools and universities.[4][5] Wanting to support existing professional help organizations rather than replace them, TWLOHA also sends a portion of donations directly to such causes as Hopeline, InTheRooms.com, S.A.F.E. Alternatives, Minding Your Mind, and (in Australia) Kids Helpline.[6]

The group's main exposure comes from musicians and bands who wear the organization's distinctive T-shirts in photographs and performances; however, it has recently gained more public exposure through merchandise and public community websites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Tumblr.
