Later in the week I'll be reviewing If You Feel Too Much and sharing more about To Write Love on Her Arms.
Melbourne, FL - September 4, 2015 - To Write Love on Her Arms is currently gearing up for its 4th annual campaign to honor National Suicide Prevention Week (September 7 - September 13) and World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10). This year's campaign, inspired by words that closed out last year's "No One Else Can Play Your Part" campaign, is called "We'll See You Tomorrow."
At the end of last year's NSPW campaign, founder Jamie Tworkowski wrote:
"Above all else, we choose to stay. We choose to fight the darkness and the sadness, to fight the questions and the lies and the myth of all that's missing. We choose to stay, because we are stories still going. Because there is still some time for things to turn around, time for surprises and for change. We stay because no one else can play our part.
Life is worth living.
We'll see you tomorrow."
Tworkowski, who is a New York Times Bestselling Author, released his debut book "If You Feel Too Much" last May. The book debuted at #6 and #16 on the New York Times and Publishers Weekly Bestseller lists, respectively. "If You Feel Too Much," which was named, "A testament to suicide prevention" by the New York Times, documents TWLOHA's founding and rapid growth. Today the organization is a worldwide movement dedicated to helping those who struggle with mental illness, showing them that they are not alone and that their story is important.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. An estimated two-thirds of those people never get help, even though untreated depression is the leading cause of suicide. Although TWLOHA knows people are struggling today, the organization wanted to send a message that there are people and organizations working to make sure they see tomorrow.
People can participate in this year's campaign by buying the organization's World Suicide Prevention Day pack, joining the conversation by using #Tomorrow15 and #WSPD15, and donating to the Classy fundraising page. TWLOHA will invest the donations to the "We'll See You Tomorrow" campaign into avenues of treatment and recovery.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a nonprofit 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. Since its start in 2006, TWLOHA has donated over $1.5 million directly into treatment and recovery and answered over 180,000 emails from over 100 countries.
