Jersey Shore PFLAG Support Group Meetings
Don't forget to also check for our special events.
Jersey Shore PFLAG now has two support group meetings! The Monmouth County support meeting is on the second Monday of every month from 7 to 9 p.m. at Church House of the Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury, 352 Sycamore Ave, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702 (Directions). Although the group meets in a church building, it is not affiliated with any religious organization.
The Ocean County support meeting is on the second Wednesday of every month from 7 to 9 p.m. at the United Church of Christ of Toms River, 1681 Ridgeway Rd. (Route 571), Toms River, NJ 08757 (Directions). Although the group meets in a church building, it is not affiliated with any religious organization.
At our meetings, we hope to provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment in which to discuss personal issues with other people who struggle with similar questions. Every other month or so, we provide a short presentation by a guest speaker or short video.
Our guidelines provide for:
* anonymity (no one need reveal their last name to the group,)
* confidentiality (what is said in the group stays in the group,)
* supportive listening (that is, listening with empathy and without judgement.)
The format consists of three parts:
* Check-in (your first name, why you are here, and how you are doing)
* Short presentation, support and/or topic groups
* Refreshments and social time
