Rooted in the Wood River Valley. Strengthening mental well-being through connection.
Love Like Ky is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening mental well-being in the Wood River Valley.
We provide practical, community-based mental health trainings and programs designed for everyday people — equipping our neighbors, coworkers, and families with simple tools to check in, reduce stigma, and look out for one another. Together, we’re building a valley where connection comes first and no one feels alone.
Ky 5 to Thrive!
Ky had an extraordinary capacity to give and receive love. The way he showed up for others continues to shape how we live and lead. Here are a few of the lessons he taught us.
It’s OK not to be OK
- You’re not alone—1 in 5 people face mental health challenges.
- Asking for help shows courage, not weakness.
- Help break the stigma—mental health matters as much as physical health.
Be Authentically YOU
- Show up as your true self and embrace what makes you unique.
- You’re one of a kind, so believe in yourself!
- Swap screen time for real face time.
Be like a Golden Retriever
- Remove the conditions for your love, and give it unconditionally
- Live with extreme loyalty
- Have a passion for happiness without seeking anything in return
End Bullying Now
- Intimidating others mentally or physically is a crime
- Use your words and actions with intention and care.
- Speak up—stand against bullying whenever you see it.
Commit to Check-ins
- Never be too busy to connect with your loved ones.
- Connection is vital to our well-being.
- Make it a habit—call or text loved ones weekly.
