MOVE is our way of equipping and educating communities about the topics we address at To Write Love on Her Arms: depression, addiction, self-injury, suicide, and the role a trusted community plays in bringing hope to those who feel broken.
MOVE is for people who are looking for a way to engage others in conversations about topics we believe matter very much. This conference stems from the idea that uniting our resources helps take people from places of pain to places of hope and healing. MOVE is for students, mentors, parents, friends, pastors, professionals, and for everyone in-between. It is for someone new to these topics entirely or someone who has worked in a clinical setting for years. This two-day, in-depth, engaging workshop is an effort to begin a conversation about issues often left in the dark. Our aim is to battle stigma and shame with honesty and compassion.
In a discussion led by professional counselors, we explore what is behind these struggles, what drives them, what recovery looks like, and how we can make a difference. Each of us has a different story, and every MOVE conference is a place where we learn from licensed professionals and from each other. Our hope is that you leave encouraged, inspired, and informed.
We are currently taking a break from holding conferences for the first half of 2012 due to some large events taking place in the lives of our team. We hope to host a few MOVE Conferences in the fall, but we will not have event information available online for a few months. Please check back here for the most up-to-date information. Thank you for patience in waiting for an upcoming conference, and we hope to meet you at a future MOVE!
