Annually our staff has opportunities to access professional development opportunities with budgeted funds. We financially support opportunities that position TWLOHA team members as thought leaders in the mental health non-profit space. In addition, leadership happens at all levels of the organization through our Advisory Committees to elevate voices and lived experiences as core leadership qualities that help guide TWLOHA's annual focus and mission execution.

Mental health impacts every community on this planet so fighting stigma must be done in every community too. This means our key strategy for success is through creating strategic partnerships with other organizations in the mental health space, private businesses, people of influence, and communities of all shapes in sizes. We collaborate to identify unique aspects of each community and tailor our content, messaging, and pieces of training to better equip each community to fight stigma. This happens at conferences, and community gatherings of all shapes in sizes whether at a music festival or on a college campus. We leverage our larger supporter network on social media and those on the platforms with influence to reach and engage more people in the fight against stigma which is best achieved through storytelling and education.

2022 was the first year following the COVID-19 pandemic that festivals and large music events resumed. TWLOHA has been historically incredibly active and engaged in these spaces. The organization rapidly scaled to be able to attend 50+ music festivals in order to meet the rapidly increasing mental health fall-out from 2020 and 2021. We reallocated significant resources so we could meet people face to face with conversations and mental health resources.
