Okaloosa Pride Festival

Kids 3 + Under FREE

I am so excited to announce Yogi B in partnership with a local Non-Profit called Toby's Closet will be hosting the Okaloosa Pride Festival on June 25th, 2022 at The Gulf on Okaloosa Island!!

This Wellness Pride Event will be the ONLY one in the Okaloosa area for all of Pride Month and we expect a HUGE turnout!

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to support Toby's Closet!

We will have live DJ's, a dance floor, games like beach volleyball and corn hole, food and drinks, speakers, vendors, and even activities for the kids!!

THIS IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT!

Come tune into a space of healing as different modalities of healing will be available to the LGBTQ+ community for this event. Offerings include Yoga, EFT/Tapping, and Ecstatic Dance!

LGBTQ youth are not inherently prone to suicide risk because of their sexual orientation or gender identity but rather placed at higher risk because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized in society.

Studies show

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 10 to 24 (Hedegaard, Curtin, & Warner, 2018) — and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth are at significantly increased risk.

LGBTQ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers (Johns et al., 2019; Johns et al., 2020).

The Trevor Project estimates that more than 1.8 million LGBTQ youth (13-24) seriously consider suicide each year in the U.S. — and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds.

The Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health found that 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including more than half of transgender and nonbinary youth.

It is important we create a safe space focused on bringing the community together and offering the tools to bring healing to LGBTQ+ members in our area. This is the MAIN FOCUS of this event! To Spread Awareness and Healing!
