WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR MEETINGS (in-person or Zoom)

Our support group meetings are free. Meetings are facilitated by an experienced facilitator.  Most of the meeting is spent sharing where we discuss issues or ask questions. Attendees share their experience, advice, anecdotes, and information.

• PFLAG Austin leader moderators strive to meet the needs of all attendees.

• We have a confidentiality policy: What is said in the meeting stays in the meeting.

• If you are seeking a support group outside of Austin, Texas (especially for a friend or relative), please visit PFLAG National's Find a Chapter page.

PFLAG Austin staff are volunteers who care about helping people.  Please consider making a donation on the MEMBERSHIP or DONATE pages in the menu to help us to continue to support those who are often in desperate need.

NOTE: even though many of our support group meetings are held in churches, PFLAG Austin is agnostic with respect to religion. We do not endorse nor discuss religion in our support groups.
