Many will not seek treatment whether because of stigma or being unable to afford it. Together, we can change this by funding scholarships for therapy, offering access to affordable resources, and pushing back against the culture of suffering in silence.
Hope is defiant. It refuses to see growth denied, it refuses to be complacent with a sigh or shrug. Hope is confident that tomorrow does indeed exist. It is an evergreen reminder that things can get better if we try, if we fight, if we don’t give up. If we have hope, we choose to stay.
Help can mean the difference between hopelessness and the possibility of change. Help involves support, encouragement, and guidance. It allows someone struggling to see and believe that things like better days and recovery can be part of their story. Help is how we not only make it through but how we grow and heal.
80% of young people first look for mental health support online. We’ve created a safe space through our online community by sharing encouragement—often at times just when it’s needed—and getting people connected to the mental health resources they need and deserve.
Your $25 donation will remind 1,250 individuals that their story matters. We meet people online to help challenge the stigma that keeps them isolated, and to share that hope is real and healing is possible.
Donate TodayHelp comes in many forms and it doesn’t have to be sought out only when we’re at our lowest. Professional care like therapy is monumental, it’s something we work to provide for those who want to heal but can’t afford it. There are also hands-on, free, and accessible resources and practices that can alter someone’s journey for the better through intention and consistency—like our toolkit, high school curriculum, and app.
We want to see a world where we all feel more connected and less alone when we’re facing mental health challenges. We’re building this world through conversations online, blogs that resonate on a deep level, T-shirts that help a stranger feel seen, and compassionate spaces to share what you’re carrying. We often think our struggles make us different or that we need to go through them alone—we are here to challenge that belief.
We don’t want to lose anyone in the silence. This is how one person’s efforts to support a friend who was struggling turned into a grassroots movement that impacts the lives of millions.
Founder Jamie Tworkowski didn’t set out to start a nonprofit organization. All he wanted to do was help a friend and tell her story. When Jamie met Renee Yohe, she was struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury, and suicidal thoughts. He wrote about the five days he spent with her before she entered a treatment center, and he sold T-shirts to help cover the cost. When she entered treatment, he posted the story on MySpace to give it a home. The name of the story was “To Write Love on Her Arms.”
