Summer celebrations are in full swing! 🔅 It's understandable if you are worried about your young person heading out to parties and social events this holiday season.

Having open conversations about partying safely can feel tricky, but you don't have to navigate this alone.
Whether it's their first party or they're already socialising regularly, staying connected and creating a safe space to chat can make a big difference.

While there's no one right way to do this, discover practical tips for talking to your young person about partying safely.

To all the students finishing up today, happy end of Term 4, 2025!!! 🌟

Summer job season is upon us, and many young people will be looking for work over the holidays.

Supporting your young person with a job search can be a great way to build their confidence and strengthen your relationship. Whether they're looking for their first casual job or exploring future career paths, there are practical ways you can help them feel prepared and motivated.

From starting conversations early to helping them identify their strengths, small actions can make a big difference in how they approach finding work.

headspace Frankston is beyond grateful to the residents from Langwarrin Community Aged Care, who came to visit our centre this week to present us with a cheque for $430, raised through the collection and recycling of cans.

We presented the residents with a certificate of appreciation, for their phenomenal effort -at 10 cents per can, that is 4,300 cans collected and recycled!! 🙌🏽🌟

It was lovely to engage in some meaningful conversations around youth mental health and the positive impact their donation will make toward supporting local young people and their families. So great to connect, and we are hoping to arrange to bring some young people to go and visit them in future.

It is so heartwarming to have so much support from our local community members, from all of us here at headspace Frankston, we'd like to say a massive THANK YOU! 💚
