PFLAG Long Island

PFLAG Long Island, based in Jericho, NY, provides comprehensive support services, educational programming, and advocacy initiatives for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. The organization facilitates separate monthly in-person and online support groups specifically designed for parents and allies of transgender individuals, creating safe spaces for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity. Beyond regular meetings, PFLAG Long Island delivers targeted educational programming throughout the year, addressing timely topics such as back-to-school transitions, coming out processes, and faith-based discussions. For families with transgender loved ones, the organization offers specialized resources including book clubs, story-sharing sessions, and transgender-specific education topics. PFLAG Long Island also organizes periodic special programs such as suicide prevention training and name change clinics, equipping community members with practical knowledge and skills. The organization's advocacy efforts extend beyond individual support to systemic change, partnering with local and national organizations to educate decision-makers and amplify voices for LGBTQ+ equality. All meetings are conducted in a friendly, confidential, and supportive environment welcoming parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Since 1990, PFLAG Long Island has served as a vital resource for families navigating questions about identity, expression, and belonging, working toward a more equitable world for the LGBTQ+ community.
