Meet Lindsay and Chad. They want you to know that you are not a burden. These two heart-wired humans are leading conversation and community at To Write Love on Her Arms - a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We’re talking self-love, self-care in community and the importance of being connected. TWLOHA is preaching that we’re “all part of this bigger story.
