About PFLAG Cleveland

PFLAG Cleveland provides comprehensive support, education, and advocacy services for LGBTQ individuals, their families, and friends throughout the greater Cleveland area and surrounding communities. Based in Berea, OH, PFLAG Cleveland has been actively serving the region since 1985, offering monthly support group meetings designed to foster understanding and acceptance within families. These gatherings bring together 25-45 participants who meet in a circle format, allowing each person to share their experiences and connect with others in a safe, affirming environment.

The organization delivers educational programming and community advocacy initiatives aimed at changing hearts and minds throughout northeast Ohio. PFLAG Cleveland's volunteer-led approach combines peer support with structured education, helping families navigate the complexities of supporting LGBTQ loved ones. The chapter offers flexible participation options, with meetings available both in-person and virtually via Zoom on the second Tuesday of each month. Beyond monthly gatherings, PFLAG Cleveland administers community awards and scholarships, recognizing individuals and organizations making significant contributions to LGBTQ equality and inclusion. The organization also provides resources addressing emerging healthcare and policy issues affecting the LGBTQ community. With a mission to create a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ people and those who love them, PFLAG Cleveland serves as a vital resource for families seeking education, connection, and advocacy support in the Berea area and throughout the greater Cleveland region.
