There’s a lot happening this month—and we’re glad you’re here for it!

Self-Injury Awareness Month, TWLOHA turns 15, and the #RunForIt5k. [Image] [Image] There's so much we want to share with you. The work we do means very little if you aren’t right here with us. Whether you read the blog or listen to the podcast, share and use the life-saving resources on our site, or participate in spreading the message that hope is real and help exists, we are grateful for your presence and energy. This month, we hope you’ll continue joining us in a number of ways—because TWLOHA has and will always exist for you. It's Self-Injury Awareness Month. Throughout the month of March, we’re intentionally talking about a topic that is far too often shrouded by shame: self-injury. We believe your experience deserves to be acknowledged without judgment. We believe you should be met with the comfort of knowing you are safe to both be honest and truthful about your pain.

It’s incredible to reflect on how this movement started and to imagine what good might be ahead. As we celebrate, we want to share your stories! How has TWLOHA helped you find truth in the idea that hope remains? Send your story (100-200 words) to social@twloha.com by Friday, March 12. We are so excited to not only celebrate this milestone with you but to also drop a few surprises along the way—so be on the lookout! [Celebrate with us ▸]( Nothing can take away how far you've come.

It takes priority and will never fall to the back burner for anyone, or anything ever again. … If I’m going to live this story from start to finish, I’m going to do it on my terms with no one, not even my mental illnesses, feeling like they have control over the narrative.” – Lauren Dow ["THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF FALLING" BY LAUREN DOW ▸]( ["FROM THE PSYCH UNIT TO BECOMING A THERAPIST" BY ARIEL GANT ▸]( ["MY BODY REMEMBERS" BY OLIVIA MADISON ▸]( [Hope is real.
