Peninsula Pride

Peninsula Pride is a Queer Straight Alliance (QSA) Youth Program funded through Victorian State Government’s Healthy Equal Youth project which aims to raise awareness, promote diversity, eliminate stigma and discrimination, and improve the overall mental health of young LGBTIQA+ people. Peninsula Pride provides support to young people in both the Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula regions.

Pride in Ourselves
Social groups and activities and events allow young people to meet others with similar lived experience. Young people are divided into two different age groups: 12yrs up to 18yrs and 18yrs up to 25yrs. New young people are introduced into Peninsula Pride 4x a year. There are no fees for young people. Places are limited. Young people interested in participating in Peninsula Pride groups or activities need to contact the headspace Frankston Intake Team.
