Vote in Mashable's 2009 Open Web Awards (Social Media edition)

I support "To Write Love On Her Arms," a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.  TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.  Spread the word, and let people know there is help out there!  People have traditionally been mum on talking about these issues, but it doesn't have to be like that anymore.  One of the best projects TWLOHA is working on is IM Alive, a live online chat support project for people who don't want to call a crisis hotline (since most people use instant messaging instead of phones these days).  It makes help so accessible.  GET THE WORD OUT BY VOTING FOR BEST NON-PROFIT USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
