​Small Group Meetings
Small Groups are the heart of PFLAG. It's a place where you can meet with other parents and loved ones of the LGBTQ community.  Small groups offer parents, family, friends and allies to learn from each other, share stories and worries. LGBTQ folk are welcome to join small group discussions, as well. We all learn and support each other so that we can better support and advocate for each other.

​Right now, Small Support Group Meetings are hosted on Zoom. We meet each Sunday at 2:00 p.m.  (3:00 on 2nd Sunday, after the guest speaker). The support meetings are by invitation only (password) and are not recorded.
If you would like to receive an invitation, email us at helplinePFLAGhouston@gmail.com, sign-up for our meeting emails.

PFLAG Support Group Guidelines

  • Our support group focuses on challenges and feelings associated with coming out as lesbian, gay,  bisexual, or transgender (LGBTQ) and the way it touches relationships with families, friends and our  larger communities. We understand that we are all here to better understand our own feelings about  sexual orientation and gender identity and to support each other as we learn to embrace our own  sexual orientation or gender identity, or that of our loved ones 
  • Confidentiality is a top priority. Nothing said in small group will leave the meeting, nor will people be  pressed to share more information than they are comfortable with during or after the meeting. 
  • We provide support by listening carefully, sharing our own stories, and discussing our own problem solving experiences. We are sensitive to each person’s stage in the acceptance process. 
  • We each speak from our own experiences, and respect the experiences of others. 
  • We are supportive rather than confrontational. Anyone who is uncomfortable may make this known to  the facilitator. 
  • Everyone will be given the chance to speak. To ensure that this can happen, each person is asked to be  conscious of the amount of time they are using in order to leave adequate time so that others may also  speak. No one person is permitted to monopolize the conversation. 
  • We are considerate of the group and do not have side discussions. Each person’s remarks are important  to the whole group. 
  • The facilitator will intervene when the guidelines are not followed and redirect the discussion.  
  • ​Our main concern is to create a supportive atmosphere for all group participants. 
  • Thank you for helping to create and be part of the family environment we have at our PFLAG support  meetings.
