Announcement!
We now have a Newport Support Meeting Location for PFLAG Greater Providence

The PFLAG Greater Providence Chapter is pleased to announce that we have a 2nd meeting location in Newport, RI to provide support to families and members of the LGBTQ community living in the Middletown, Jamestown, South County and southeastern MA areas. As a result of outreach by one of our chapter board members, Doreen LePage, to the members of Interweave and the generosity of Channing Memorial Church, the first PFLAG Greater Providence Newport Satellite Support Group meeting will take place on Thursday, November 15, 2018 from 6:45 pm - 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.

Light refreshments will be served.  All are welcome!

If you are in need of additional information you can reach Doreen at led1pflagnewport@gmail.com, or you can contact PFLAG Greater Providence at pflagprovidence@gmail.com or call our Helpline at 401-307-1802.

We look forward to seeing you there!
November Meeting Reminder!

On Wednesday, November 7, 2018, PFLAG Greater Providence will have its monthly meeting from 6:45 to 8:45 pm at the MET School in Providence. This will be a general support meeting. We have no speaker scheduled. 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.

All are welcome. Refreshments and parking are available.

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.

For driving directions to the Met School at 325 Public Street, or for more information about PFLAG, please visit http://www.pflagprovidence.org/

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.
