PunkNews interviews Jamies Tworkowski of To Write Love on Her Arms

"Well now it’s basically a non-profit organization. Sometimes we say a non-profit movement, and basically we talk about depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We’re in a position just to talk about those issues, which are issues that people don’t talk much about and to try to encourage people that need help to get help. We work to connect people to help and then to really just invite people and challenge people to begin to learn about these issues and talk about these issues and learn how to help take care of our friends that may be struggling with these things.
