Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning Youth

Welcome to a web page that focuses on you. This is a place to learn, grow and feel comfortable. We want to give you the support you need and answer any questions you may have. Call 770-662-6475 or email us at info@pflagatl.org with your concerns. Your contact will remain completely confidential. When we return a call, we ask to speak to you. If you are not at home, we leave no message, but call back later.

If you or a friend need immediate help and are feeling depressed, suicidal or all alone, PLEASE call 404-730-1600 in Atlanta, a local 24 hour Mental Health Helpline or the Trevor Helpline at 866-488-7386, a 24 hour GLBTQ Youth Crisis Hotline Line. Both are free and 100% Confidential. Talk to a trained counselor that will help you find local resources. You can also contact the San Francisco Suicide Prevention 24 hr Crisis Line at 415-781-0500.

If you want to talk to another GLBT youth, call the Peer Listening Line at 800-399-7337. It is staffed Monday-Friday from 5:00 PM till 10:00 PM eastern standard time.

We have some online articles you may want to read and we also have books and videos available in our library (accessible during meetings). There are many local and national resources that may be of interest on the Resources page. The links specifically for youth are on this page. These are external links and PFLAG claims no responsibility for the content of any of these sites.

If you know of other great web sites for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning youth or local resources in the greater Atlanta area, please keep us up to date with an email to webmaster@pflagatl.org.
