Speaker Bio
Jamie Tworkowski didn’t set out to create a charity. He was helping a friend overcome mental illness, and in the process of sharing that story of hope, he started a movement.
Jamie Tworkowski is the founder of To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those who suffer from depression, addiction, self-injury and suicidal tendencies find hope, support and love. Tworkowski, who has been interviewed by NBC Nightly News, CNN, MTV and Spin magazine, offers messages of hope and community to audiences at universities and conferences throughout the U.S., Australia and the UK.
