About Us
More About PFLAG Danville / Central Susquehanna Valley
Meetings in Danville, Selinsgrove, and online often feature guest speakers including professionals in medicine, education, social service, religion and the arts, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community and family members who share life experiences and provide education. Other groups offer opportunities for informal sharing, individual support, and opportunities to network and form friendships. We also participate in community events like Pride, and occasionally host social activities.
Provide Support – PFLAG 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, 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 clinic, 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.
