“Going beyond the Coming Out conversation” + PFLAG Support Groups on Sep 15
So many times, at PFLAG meetings we hear, “My parents know I’m gay/lesbian/bi/trans but we don’t talk about it”. Debonee will speak to us on what we can do to restart this conversation.
Debonee Morgan, LMFT is a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice in Atlanta, Georgia. We’ve asked her to speak to this “conversation” with family and friends, especially when what’s ended the conversation the last time has been matters of faith.
After our speaker’s comments, we will break for refreshments and then join an hour of small support circles, each led by a trained facilitator.
