🌈 June is Pride Month – a time to celebrate love, inclusion, and the powerful resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
In Sri Lanka, LGBTQ+ individuals continue to navigate unique challenges—minority stress, subtle (and overt) discrimination, and the emotional toll of having to hide one’s truth. These struggles often lead to isolation, loneliness, and disconnection—issues that deeply impact mental health.
At Kalyana Sri Lanka, we believe we believe that mental well-being is rooted in connection and community is medicine. This Pride Month, we’re spotlighting the healing power of safe, supportive and authentic relationships—and how meaningful connection can help break cycles of stigma, and loneliness not just for LGBTQ+ individuals, but for all of us. Let’s work together to build a world where no one feels alone in their struggle:
💛 Let’s listen with compassion.
🧡 Let’s speak out against injustice.
💚 Let’s show up for one another—with love, respect, and solidarity.
✨ Stay tuned as we share ways to replace isolation with belonging, build connection, and support mental well-being through the power of community.
