💬 Why TROA Stands for Mental Health Awareness

At TROA, we firmly believe that no one should ever play alone—whether in gaming or in life. We are more than just a gaming community; we are a family that stands together through every challenge. Mental health is a journey that touches us all, and we are committed to ensuring that no one is ever silenced or made to feel isolated.

Through our support of initiatives like the Walk Out of Darkness, we actively work to raise awareness, provide resources, and create a safe haven where all voices can be heard. TROA is dedicated to fostering an environment where every individual can find solace, understanding, and companionship.
