Next Tuesday, Judy Broward, President of the Gainesville chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) will join us at our chapter meeting for a discussion about suicide prevention. Many folks in the LGBTQ+ and larger community struggle with suicidal thoughts or the loss of loved ones to suicide, and PFLAG wants to encourage the normalization of conversations with and support for individuals who might be struggling and in need of support.

Spectrum and Cross the Line
We break out the ice-breakers at this week's PFLAG meeting, as a chance to learn more about each other, and ourselves. Participation is optional as we ask questions about experiences within and outside of the LGBTQA+ community. Learn more about what terms mean, and consider where you currently fit on a spectrum of gender, sexuality, and other factors that may impact how you interact with folks - including what Hogwarts house you belong in.
