About Us
Learn More About PFLAG Enfield
PFLAG Enfield is a welcoming and inclusive community group comprised of LGBTQ+ individuals, parents, and allies in the Enfield area. Our mission is to provide support, education, and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and their families. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences, find acceptance, and access resources.
Through our activities, events, and meetings, we aim to foster understanding, promote equality, and celebrate diversity. Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a parent seeking guidance, or an ally looking to show support, PFLAG Enfield is here to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for all.
What We Do
Provide Support – PFLAG Enfield facilitates separate monthly in-person and online support groups, as well as a weekly support group for parents and allies of transgender folks. We also provide periodic programs for special topics and events.
Offer Education – Each month, as part of our support groups, we provide a different education topic relevant to the time of year (back-to-school, coming out, etc.). For the parents/allies of transgender folks, we provide a faith-based discussion one week and a book club the next week, sharing our stories and trans-specific education topics. We also do periodic special programs like suicide prevention training, name change clinics, and others.
Advocate – PFLAG strives to partner with other local and National organizations to educate key decision-makers about the issues that affect our loved ones and families, and to teach others how to use their voices to amplify our efforts toward a more equitable, and just world for the LGBTQ+ community.
