pflag Parents and Caregivers is for any parent or caregiver who has had a child come out to them. Often when a child (either adult or youth) comes out, it means changes for the whole family. Our dreams and expectations, for our child change. Sometimes we feel sadness, anger, grief, but also joy, excitement and wonder. All of these feelings can happen simultaneously. This group is a safe space to work through all the negative feelings and celebrate the positive ones. All feelings are valid, respected and understood.
pflag Queerdos
Queerdos is an 18+ group for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Living out can come with a lot of challenges, join in with others as we deep dive into sexuality, gender, and navigating a heterosexual, cisgender world. This group is a wealth of knowledge, resources and community. Our facilitators are members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and are committed to making life easier for all folx coming out and living out.
pflag Youth Jr. and Sr.
Are you a youth between 7 and 17? These groups are just for you! Our pflag youth team work extremely hard at organizing and planning activities for the youngest members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The two groups are organized according to age and maturity levels. All of the facilitators are members of either the queer or trans community (sometimes both!). Activities are geared for the interests and ages of youth involved.
pflag Partners
pflag Partners is a group for individuals who have had a long term partner come out during their relationship. Partners is solely an online group as members join us from all over Canada and the United States. When a partner comes out, it changes every aspect of the relationship. This group is very different from many of the online groups you will find. We understand (and respect) that our partners did not choose to be part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and that coming out was the hardest thing they’ve had to do. This space is designed to let you examine your feelings while being supported by others who are in the same life situation. This is not a group designed to keep couples together (or to break up!). Join us each month for laughter, understanding, friendship, and allyship.
