Change in Format for Support Meetings
In response to public health guidelines, we've replaced all of our in-person peer support group meetings with remote/virtual meetings, using Zoom's teleconferencing service, at the same days and times. To participate, please send a brief request by email to info@pflagsanjose.org, or leave a message at (408) 270-8182.
Online Support for API Communities
Two PFLAG chapters now host support groups specifically for members of the Asian or Pacific Islander communities who have LGBTQ+ loved ones. And, like most support groups, they've moved online since the epidemic started last year; that means anyone can participate, regardless of location!
