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

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate the vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community. It’s a month filled with joy, visibility, and affirmation of identity. However, it’s also a crucial time to recognize and address the mental health challenges that many in the LGBTQ+ community face. As a proud mother of a daughter who identifies as gay, and as an advocate and ally, I am dedicated to raising awareness to this important issue.

Introducing New Board Members

We are thrilled to welcome three outstanding individuals to The Kim Foundation’s Board of Directors.

Why I Love The Kim Foundation

I first learned about The Kim Foundation (TKF) in 2023 at AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Omaha walk. It was my first walk ever. I nervously wandered around, wanting to find a local organization to volunteer with, and found the TKF booth.

Welcome to the Team, Linda!

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.
