For In-Person and Virtual Meeting Information
With the exception of the Virtual Support Group Meeting, which will remain for the convenience of some folks, the remainder of the support group meetings are in-person. Check individual groups for details. We encourage you to contact your support group facilitator at any time, as they will remain excellent resources for information. The support group dates and times will continue to be posted on the PFLAG San Diego County Facebook and Instagram pages,as well as our newsletter.
Whether in person or online, our support groups provide a safe and friendly place where parents, families, and friends can share their personal stories and learn from others’ stories, too. LGBTQ+ persons can speak of their efforts and experiences in seeking parental understanding and acceptance. First time group visitors who need time are welcome to listen in without sharing.
