Support Resources

If you have found that you want to get more involved in your community, have needs that differ from what the peer-support group that is available through your employee resource group network is able to provide, or want to get more engaged in local, state, or national advocacy work – PFLAG National offers a number of services for the parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ people. This includes The PFLAG Chapter Network, the largest program of PFLAG National, which has over 350 chapters across the country. Offering both in-person support meetings and PFLAG Connects virtual meetings, local chapters—as well as some of our PFLAG National-provided virtual meetings and peer-support spaces—offer a wealth of resource support.
