Peer to peer Support Meetings

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Your health and wellbeing is the top priority for our PFLAG chapter. With that in mind, and based on the data and information we have received from PFLAG National, the CDC, the WHO and the Health Department, we are suspending all in-person chapter meetings and events.

We are currently holding our Adult Peer to Peer meetings via Zoom.  Please email us for the link the day before to be able to join the meeting.

All Youth Peer to Peer meetings are currently on hold.
​
Just like you, we are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to provide updates as is appropriate and as relates specifically to PFLAG-related activities. We will keep you update as we are kept up to date.



Come join us! PFLAG Leonardtown meets each month in the Southern Maryland region, comprising St. Mary's, Charles,
and Calvert Counties.  Become part of a growing community, get support and be part of a vital movement for equality.   

​Each peer-to-peer meeting is moderated by two trained adult facilitators.  All meetings are confidential and supportive in nature, but are not a substitute for professional therapy or counseling.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT
​A COMMUNITY MEETING?

There will be people who are at differing stages in their understanding, acceptance, and support of their LGBTQ+ loved ones. You can expect to meet people who have gone through similar experiences and developed meaningful friendships through their attendance at monthly PFLAG meetings.

​Meeting agendas vary month to month and group to group but usually include:

Community Discussions
A discussion of advocacy efforts in the local community on
behalf of LGBTQ+ friends and family members

Peer-to-Peer Support Group
Groups of 10-12 people which are lead by trained facilitators.
​Peer-to-Peer meetings are adult-focused.

Conversations with the groups are considered confidential
and not to be discussed beyond the room.

Please no use of cell phones during meetings.

Guest Speakers
Speakers from local LGBTQ+ affiliated organizations.

Refreshments and social time.

Hope to see you soon!
