Elders give children the promise of community, continuity, and consciousness of self. They are the spiritual guides that keep culture and personal history alive in the hearts of the young. They nurture the love and understanding that can then withstand the difficulties and appreciate the beauty of our shared walk through life. We love and cherish our grandchildren and may be the most accepting because so many unimportant things are of no concern to us anymore compared to our precious children. If you identify as a grandparent or an intergenerational influence in the life of an LGBTQ+ person join us for the launch of our Loving Elders Support Group. We’ll meet the first Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET. Learn more and register.

PFLAG NYC’s Support Services will provide two free virtual workshops with special guest and clinical psychologist, Dr. Hannah Ellerkamp. December's workshop will focus on understanding your LGBTQIA+ child’s nonbinary and identity exploration and how it impacts their life experiences including family, social and romantic relationships, education, and employment. Do you have a clear understanding of what nonbinary is? Does your child or loved one identify as nonbinary? You may have asked them but still have so many questions and want to be in a space with like-minded people who also have questions you aren’t even aware of or are willing to ask your loved one. Shifting outside of binary concepts, you will learn the differences between binary and nonbinary and understand how your loved ones’ lives are impacted by their identity and how you can support them. These workshops are good for parents, families, and caregivers of tweens, teens, and young adults (13+). Learn more and register.
