TROA: Changing Lives, Ending Stigma, and Building Hope

TROA was founded with one purpose — to be a light in the darkness. What began as a gaming community quickly grew into a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to mental health awareness, support, and advocacy. TROA was created to remind people that they are never alone, and that hope can be found even in the most unexpected places — sometimes in a conversation, a game, or a simple act of kindness.

At TROA, we understand that mental health struggles can affect anyone — regardless of background, gender, or profession. Many of our own members, including leadership, have faced mental health challenges and found healing through community, connection, and purpose. That personal understanding is what fuels our drive to make a difference.

Our Mission: To End the Stigma and Stop It

We believe that the only way to end the stigma surrounding mental health is by talking about it openly, supporting those who struggle, and educating others on how to respond with empathy instead of judgment. Through our mental health initiatives, outreach programs, and partnerships, TROA is changing lives one conversation at a time.

Our mission — #StopTheStigma — is more than a message. It’s a movement. Every story shared, every life touched, and every resource provided brings us one step closer to a world where seeking help is a sign of strength, not shame.

Our Programs and Impact

Through initiatives such as the TROA Mental Health Support Portal, First Contact Program, and Community Awareness Campaigns, we provide:

• Safe and confidential spaces for individuals to seek help or simply talk.
• Trained mental health advocates who offer guidance, empathy, and referrals.
• Education and outreach that promote early intervention, prevention, and understanding.
• Opportunities for volunteers and partners to make tangible impacts within their own communities.

Our programs are designed to create real change — not just through awareness, but through action. We meet people where they are, online or in person, and help them take that first step toward healing.
