PFLAG Greater Providence provides much-needed support to LGBTQ+ people and their families in Rhode Island and is surrounding communities in Massachusetts.  Now, we're proud to continue providing you trusted support, meeting you where you are--wherever you are--via PFLAG Connects.

PFLAG Connects meetings, run by trusted PFLAG Greater Providence leaders, will give you the support you need during this most-challenging time.

Whether you are:
  • An LGBTQ+ person who is newly--or not yet--out to you family and friends;
  • A parent or family member on a journey of supporting an LGBTQ+ loved one;
  • A parent or family member who suspects that someone you love is LGBTQ+ and aren't sure how to approach the subject, or if you should;
  • A teacher, counselor, or school administrator providing online instruction and looking to help support LGBTQ+ students who are out at school but not at home; or
  • A friend or ally looking to provide support as you shelter in place
​PFLAG Greater Providence has you covered.
