'Hi everyone 👋 I'm Greg, co-founder and facilitator of the Aftercare Redcliffe Peninsula Pride Support Group - an initiative designed to connect LGBTIQPA+ Community and allies on the northside of Brisbane with mental health support and information services as well as to create and promote safe, social activities that increase the general well-being of all participants'.

'I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, coach, mentor and mental health support worker having just completed my Bachelor of Counselling (Coaching) degree with the Australian College of Applied Psychology in Brisbane. Having a keen interest in all aspects of positive psychology (promoting optimism, hope and resilience) I work with clients of all ages and developmental stages in capacity building through play therapy/activities and explorative discussions around self-awareness and community involvement'.

'Our Peninsula Pride Support Group is a passionate project that I happily volunteer my time and effort towards. Identifying myself as a gay man, I have lived in experience with homophobia and discrimination from family, friends and the wider community as well as a core understanding of the trials we face when we feel disconnected not only with others, however, also with self'.

'I thank you for being a significant part of this group's growth. YOU DESERVE LOVE and this is at the very heart of all we do in this group'.

'I look forward to spending more time with each of you as we journey together towards a brighter future!'

- Kind regards, Greg.
