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.

From their Facebook page

Meet your board members and facilitators, learn about future events, meeting types, and we’ll also break into small groups to talk more specifically.

This is a safe space, and the PFLAG team will be on hand to talk, listen, and love.

Here are a few things to note:

1. Childcare is not provided, so if you have little ones contact your sitter early. If your child could stand to benefit from the discussion, please do bring them along. (as our programs evolve, this will change)

2. Youth programs are in our future, but will not be scheduled for the first meeting. We recommend a minimum age of 13 from group participation.

3. This is first and foremost a support group and a safe space, you will be heard, understood, and acknowledged.
