Come for support, come to socialize, just come as you are! Peer-to-peers are open to all, whether you are LGBTQ+, parent, family member, or an ally!

PFLAG Leonardtown provides much-needed support to LGBTQ+ people and their families in the Southern Maryland community. We’re proud to continue providing you trusted support, meeting you where you are -- wherever you are -- through PFLAG Peer-to-Peer Groups. All are welcome; whether you are:

  • An LGBTQ+ person who is newly--or not yet--out to your family and friends;
  • A parent or family member on a journey of supporting an LGBTQ+ loved one;
  • A parent or family members who suspects that someone you love is LGBTQ+ and aren’t sure how to approach the subject, or if you should;
  • A friend, ally, or community supporter looking to provide support to the LGBTQ+ individuals & families.

What to Expect At
​a Peer-To-PEER MEETING

PFLAG meetings are like snowflakes. From far away, they all look very similar. As you get closer, you can see the uniqueness of each one. Some people come to share stories from their lives, feel supported and even get advice. Others are looking for to learn about issues and get information about the local LGBTQ community. Many are looking for new friends, social connections, or just someone that can relate to their experience. 

While each meeting has a facilitator*, meetings are 'peer-led' which means the subject matter and discussion is generally determined by the attendees. However, there are several things you can always expect at a peer-to-peer meeting: 1) Review the PFLAG Mission Statement, 2) Ground Rules / Confidentiality Statement, 3) Introductions of Names & Pronouns. Meetings are typically structured in a circle format and each person shares what brought them to peer-to-peer or what they hope to get out of the meeting. You are only expected to share what you are comfortable sharing. 


People come to PFLAG in different stages of acceptance of themselves & their loved ones. Peer-to-peer meetings provide a judgment-free, confidential & safe space to share and get support on their journey.
​
Hope to see you soon!   
*Meeting facilitators are NOT trained counselors, pscyhologists, or mental health professionals.
