Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $1.3 million spent. THE AWARENESS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. OUR GOAL IS TO ULTIMATELY MOVE PEOPLE FROM ISOLATION TO COMMUNITY, FROM SILENCE TO HONESTY, FROM PAIN TO HOPE AND HELP. THE WORK WE DO THROUGH STORYTELLING ON OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, PODCAST, BLOG, VIDEO, AND DESIGN PROJECTS, AND OTHER MEDIA CHIPS AWAY AT THE STIGMA THAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM ADDRESSING THEIR OWN MENTAL HEALTH EXPERIENCES. IN 2024, THIS MESSAGE OF HOPE AND HELP REACHED 28 MILLION PEOPLE.
  2. $404,089 spent. THE SUPPORTER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM IS AT THE HEART OF THE TWLOHA MOVEMENT, WHERE PEOPLE CARRY THIS CONVERSATION INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THAT VOLUNTEERS CAN ENGAGE IN TO HELP US ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. THIS LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGNS FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH (1,738 PARTICIPANTS) AND OUR SPRING CAMPAIGN CENTERED ON BUILDING MENTAL HEALTH RESILIENCY THROUGH MOVEMENT IN HONOR OF MENTAL HEALTH MONTH IN MAY (2,418 PARTICIPANTS). EACH CAMPAIGN IS DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE ADVOCATE FOR MENTAL HEALTH STORIES, CHALLENGE STIGMA, AND OFFER SUPPORT TO THOSE HURTING THROUGH OUTREACH. BETWEEN THE BELLS IS A ONE-WEEK INTERACTIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SPARK AUTHENTIC CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND TO REMIND THOSE STRUGGLING THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE. THIS FREE PROGRAM EDUCATES STUDENTS ABOUT COMMON MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES, WHAT HELP AND RESOURCES EXIST, AND HOW THEY CAN PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. IN 2024, WE WORKED IN 82 SCHOOLS, REACHING 52,490 STUDENTS, WITH 53 PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS HAVING A TITLE 1 LOW-INCOME STATUS.
  3. $294,934 spent. TREATMENT AND RECOVERY - TWLOHA IS COMMITTED TO NOT ONLY CHANGING THE CONVERSATION SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH AND CHALLENGING STIGMA BUT ALSO TO INVESTING IN TREATMENT AND RECOVERY. UNDER THIS UMBRELLA, WE CONNECT OVER 30,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY TO FREE AND REDUCED-COST SERVICES IN EVERY ZIP CODE IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH OUR FIND HELP TOOL DATABASE. WE OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS TO LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO REMOVE BARRIERS THAT KEEP PEOPLE FROM ACCESSING CARE. WE PROVIDED OVER 5,000 HOURS OF THERAPY THROUGH OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN 2024.
  4. $404,011 spent. THE EVENTS AND TOURS PROGRAM CREATES OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET PEOPLE FACE TO FACE AT LIVE MUSIC EVENTS, FESTIVALS, AND TOURS, AS WELL AS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, IN PLACES OF WORSHIP, AND IN SPACES WHERE COMMUNITIES GATHER. WE OFFER A SAFE, WELCOMING SPACE TO HEAR PEOPLE'S STORIES, ENCOURAGE THOSE IN THEIR JOURNEYS OF RECOVERY AND HEALING, AND GUIDE FOLKS TO TOOLS THAT ALLOW THEM TO FIND PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES IN REAL TIME BY DISTRIBUTING OVER 11,000 FIND HELP PAMPHLETS. THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT SPARK CHANGE AND COMBAT THE STIGMA THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THESE CHALLENGES (DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF-INJURY, AND SUICIDE). WE WERE ON THE GROUND IN 2024 AT 36 EVENTS AND FESTIVALS.
