Mental Health Month: The Power of TWLOHA's Black and White Campaign
We need your presence, not your perfection. Through your struggles, your heartache, your pain, you have brought humility and encouraged grace to grow in spaces that craved honesty.
What if three simple statements could change the way we think about mental health? In this episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', Chad Moses, TWLOHA's Director of Outreach, and Editor Becky Ebert unpack the essence of their Black and White campaign. This initiative is not just about raising awareness; it's about sparking conversations that matter.
As they discuss the campaign's core messages—'You need other people and other people need you', 'People need other people, and that's okay', and 'Hope is the belief that healing is possible and that light will eventually return'—you'll find yourself reflecting on your own connections and sources of hope. Featuring voices from around the globe, including India, Wales, and Belgium, this episode brings a truly international perspective to mental health.
These special guests share their personal experiences with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction, offering a mosaic of insights that remind us we are not alone. Chad and Becky also delve into how the campaign is especially relevant in these challenging times of a global pandemic and social distancing. They emphasize the importance of community and support, encouraging listeners to reach out for help when needed.
Whether you're seeking solace or looking to support a loved one, this episode is a beacon of hope and a reminder that healing is a journey we don't have to take alone.
