It’s Pride month, y’all!
And while we’re ready to celebrate, we’re also reflecting on what Pride makes possible: a future where LGBTQ+ young people and their families can thrive.
This month, we’re highlighting the many ways our community is building that future together. From family-friendly Pride events and community gatherings to the life-changing impact of the Prism Healing Fund, every act of support helps ensure LGBTQ+ youth know they belong, are valued, and have access to the care they deserve.
Thank you for being part of a community that continues to build a future filled with pride, hope, and possibility.

This Pride Month, we’re raising support for the Prism Healing Fund, which helps LGBTQ+ youth and their loved ones access affirming mental health care regardless of their ability to pay.
Since its launch, the fund has provided more than 80 hours of free therapy, helping young people navigate challenges, build resilience, and find hope for the future. As demand continues to grow, so does the need for support.
A gift to the Healing Fund is an investment in healing, belonging, and the wellbeing of LGBTQ+ youth across southwest Alabama. Join us in building a future where every young person has access to the care they deserve.
