Meetings & Support Groups
PFLAG NYC offers support groups for parents, families, and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. LGBTQ+ people are also welcome to attend to care for and strengthen their family relationships.
PFLAG NYC meetings are currently all taking place virtually via Zoom. Every meeting is a safe place to share experiences. You will get support from other parents and families, and you’ll find your experience contributes to helping others. Through conversation with peers from other families, we support each other in a continuing process of learning, acceptance, and celebration.
All PFLAG NYC support meetings are offered free of charge.
