PFLAG St. Albert

Outloud PFLAG St. Albert

…is our local chapter of PFLAG Canada, the national charitable organization founded by parents who wished to help themselves and their family members understand and accept their non-heterosexual children.

The “coming-out” process can be a critical time for families.

When the adjustment period is particularly long or painful, relationships can become permanently damaged, resulting in a lifetime of emotional scars.

People cannot always rise above the challenge of accepting themselves or their family member, and the results can be devastating, even fatal.

We support these families through today, and give them hope for a better tomorrow.

What to expect

A typical meeting starts with introductions, including everyone’s preferred name and pronouns. There are planned discussions, questions and answers, and guest speakers.

Outloud is not a counselling session although we do have tons of resources for you.

Just show up, have food, have fun, don’t bring anything except yourself, family, and allies — we don’t expect you to meet a bunch of strangers alone.

There is no charge for the program but donations are appreciated.
