Ways to be a visible ally during Pride Month-Allyship is about showing up visibly, consistently, and meaningfully for LGBTQ+ communities.

At the individual level, you can:
• Educate yourself on LGBTQ+ history, issues, and experiences
• Speak up when you see misinformation or harmful stereotypes
• Use correct pronouns consistently
• Amplify LGBTQ+ voices and stories rather than speaking over them
• Share your own commitment: “I’m an ally because _____”

At the community level, you can:
• Advocate for inclusive policies for LGBTQ+ and trans people in schools and workplaces
• Attend Pride events, marches, or community gatherings as a visible supporter
• Support LGBTQ+ owned businesses and creators
• Encourage your organization or school to adopt inclusive practices and protections

JFS was thrilled to receive a pallet of food yesterday thanks to the generosity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the outreach of Switchpoint Toole. The donation was part of a semi-truck delivery carrying more than 25 pallets of food through the America 250 "America Gives" initiative.

Tip
Try the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Method

When anxiety feels overwhelming or your mind is racing, the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique can help bring you back to the present moment.

This simple mindfulness exercise engages your senses and can help reduce stress, calm anxious thoughts, and increase awareness of your surroundings.

At Jewish Family Service, our licensed clinicians help individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and life's many challenges. If you're looking for support, we're here to help.
