Next Providence Support Meeting Will Be Wednesday, February 5th! This is a reminder that PFLAG Greater Providence will not have a monthly support meeting at the MET School in Providence in January, since the first Wednesday of the month is January 1st (New Year's Day). Our next meeting at the Met School in Providence will be on Wednesday, February 5, 2020. See you then! However, there will be a meeting at our Newport satellite meeting location on Monday, January 13, 2020 at the Parish House at the rear of Channing Memorial Chapel, 135 Pelham Street, Newport from 6:45 to 8:00 p.m. Refreshments and on-street parking are available. On Wednesday, February 5th, 2020, PFLAG Greater Providence will have its monthly meeting from 6:45 to 7:45 pm at the MET School in Providence. Please note the change in the meeting end time. Due to schedule changes at the MET School, we have had to change the end time of our meetings. This month's meeting will be a general support meeting. We do not have a speaker scheduled; so this is a good time to come and talk (or just listen) about any issues or concerns involving you or your LGBTQ loved one(s) with those who understand. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month. Our meetings are relaxed, safe, and non-judgmental; and all information shared remains confidential. We meet at The MET School in the UNITY Building. If you are driving up Public Street from Eddy Street, it is the first campus entrance on the right after you cross Plain Street. The building is located toward the back with parking in the rear. Please note that while our usual location is the UNITY building on The Met School campus our meeting may be relocated to another building on the campus. If it is moved, there will be signs posted on both buildings and a notice will be placed on social media and this site. The next meeting at our Newport satellite location will take place on Monday, December 9th from 6:45 - 8:00 p.m. at Channing Memorial Church, 135 Pelham St. Newport, RI. The meeting will take place in the Parish Hall which is in the back of the church.

PFLAG is a unique organization offering support for families of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and gender-nonconforming/questioning people, and for the LGBTQ people seeking to come out into the embrace of their families. We help by telling the stories of our own journeys to understanding and acceptance of our children, and we take a personal interest in every family who attends. Upcoming Meetings
