Stream for TWLOHA

We’re excited to collaborate with streamers and content creators in saying that it’s okay to talk about mental health — it’s okay to ask for help. We need your voice in this conversation. Think about your efforts as not only raising funds for TWLOHA but also smashing stigma. The money you raise will help TWLOHA reach high schools, colleges, and communities across the country and nation with this message and connect people in need to local mental health resources.

Talking Points

Here are a few helpful talking points to share on your stream.

Since 2006, TWLOHA has invested $3 million into treatment and recovery. Last year, TWLOHA sponsored 3,400 counseling sessions and 109 weeks of substance use disorder care.

Reached more than 12.5 million people online each month and shared over 120 stories of mental health and healing on the blog, podcast, and through LIVE events.

In 2021, we reached 16,000 high school students with our Between the Bells program which creates conversations and connects students to resources through a week-long campaign on campus.

In 2021, we supported 40,000 searches for mental health resources through our FIND HELP Tool.

Since launching our new FIND HELP tool in September of 2018, we’ve seen 131,000 searches made by people seeking out local mental health resources. For every 4 searches, 1 person takes the next step by making an appointment with a counselor or connecting to a crisis helpline.
