Change in Format for Peer Support Groups
In response to public health shelter-in-place guidelines, we are suspending all in-person support group meetings until further notice. Instead, we encourage you to join one of the teleconferences we've scheduled at the same dates and times as three of our regular support meetings. To participate, please send a brief request by email to info@pflagsanjose.org, or leave a message at (408) 270-8182.
Note: The Families of Trans-Youth group will not meet in May.
