What can I expect?
For our support meetings, we meet in groups of 10 or 12 people. Each group is led by a trained facilitator. To begin, we go around and introduce ourselves. The facilitator then leads a discussion where participants share their issues and questions. No one who attends a meeting needs to speak - you can just listen in, if you like. If you do speak, you can reveal as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. In the warm and supportive atmosphere many newcomers find that they are able to put troubling thoughts and fears into words for the first time and receive reassurance, guidance and facts. We learn by sharing our own experiences and listening to the experiences of others. All conversations within the groups are considered confidential and are not discussed beyond the room. Even though we might be therapists or counselors in our private lives, at a PFLAG meeting, we are just sons, daughters, parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters.
