The Liberal Arts Forum hosts “Pain, Hope, Questions and Community: An Evening with To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), a multimedia presentation by author/advocate Jamie Tworkowski, on Feb. 8.
After learning that two out of three people with depression do not get help, and that the third leading cause of death among 18-24 year olds is suicide, Tworkowski founded a nonprofit dedicated to helping those suffering from depression, addiction, self-injury and suicidal tendencies find hope, support and love.
In 2015, a film based on TWLOHA was released, as was Tworkowski’s New York Times bestselling book, “If You Feel Too Much,” which was also one of 15 books nominated in Goodreads’ Choice Awards 2015 in the Best Memoir/Autobiography category. Telling stories and talking about the importance of honesty and community in a way that is dynamic, conversational, raw, and ultimately hopeful, Tworkowski lets readers and audiences know that no matter what, “You are not alone and this is not the end of your story.”
