Newport Institute

This Pride Month, we’re sending a message to Stamp Out Stigma 🌈📮

Pride is about celebrating authenticity, and also a reminder that stigma persists. Throughout the month, we’re sharing helpful approaches for LGBTQ+ support and allyship

Together, we can replace silence with meaningful conversations, judgment with curiosity, and isolation with connection—creating space for people to be seen as themselves and without conditions.

When we show up with compassion, we help change the messages our LGBTQ+ neighbors, coworkers, friends, family, and larger communities receive. Join us as we deliver love and support in everyday life.

Nurses and teachers are vital in shaping our lives and fostering healing. Thank you for your dedication to education and care!

Haunted by ghosting? 👻

Whether it's a love interest or someone you considered a best friend, being ghosted can leave us feeling confused and rejected, which can trigger old wounds and feelings of unworthiness.

Next time this happens, just remember ... ghosting is often more about the ghoster’s inability to communicate than it is about you. Instead of letting it haunt you, use this experience as a chance to reflect and grow. Focus on self-compassion and reach out to friends who lift you up.

Consider journaling about your feelings or even talking to a therapist if old wounds resurface. This can be an opportunity to reassess your relationship patterns and build resilience.

Have you found ways to turn ghosting into a learning experience? Share your thoughts and let’s support each other in this journey!
