Resources for Families and Ongoing Events

PFLAG Monthly Programs and Support Groups:
Programs and facilitated support groups occur three times a month. Each is open to all at no charge, although contributions are greatly appreciated. These small discussion groups are completely confidential and provide an opportunity for family members, friends, and GLBT persons themselves to share thoughts and feelings and to listen to others do the same. In addition to our general topic groups, we offer a group focused on gender identity and transgender issues. Another group provides support for non-GLBT spouses.

Refreshments are served during the break between the program and the group meetings.
