Avoiding the Comment Section
One of my favorite things to do during my lunch break is reading the comment sections on Facebook. These dramatic exchanges rival a soap opera! I find it amazing that even the most seemingly benign posts can lead to hostile discourse in the comments. For example, I belong to a Facebook group that focuses on a specific type of home décor (maximalism… I love it!). Group members often post pictures of their maximalist home designs – neon pink bathrooms, ornate mirrors, garish wallpaper – that kind of thing. One would think there wouldn’t be much drama past the occasional “not my style” kind of comment. Well, one would be wrong! Sometimes the group admins even have to turn off the comment section.

Meet the Team!
While our work may not change the world at large, preventing even a single suicide means saving someone who means the world to their loved ones. The Kim Foundation is dedicated to preventing suicide within our community and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness. Behind this mission is a team of passionate women working tirelessly to make a difference. While each job is unique, no team member can do her work without the support of the others.
Big News: New Executive Director!
As The Kim Foundation reaches its 24th year, we are excited to share some important news about our future commitment to suicide prevention and mental health advocacy in the local community. The foundation has undergone a leadership transition, and we want to keep you informed about our growth moving forward.
