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.

Celebrating Pride Month: Addressing Mental Health in the LGBTQ+ Community

Grief & Loss Over the Holidays

To some, holidays are the most wonderful time of the year! You can cozy up under a blanket with a Hallmark movie on and a cup of hot cocoa in hand, surrounded by your family. Sounds great, right?

As great as the holiday season seems, it can also be some of the most difficult days for those coping with a new normal without a loved one by their side.
