PFLAG Santa Cruz County is proud to announce that our January 14, 2014 speaker will be Brandon Brock from PFLAG San Francisco and PFLAG Napa, speaking about the profound sense of pride that he felt as he walked through DC’s monuments and how it directly related to the National PFLAG Conference in October.
The National PFLAG Conference was an eye-opening experience for Brandon. He will specifically share what he learned about the Reach Program that he feels could be of huge benefit to PFLAG Chapters around the Bay Area.
We all know that our support groups are the “first stop” destination for folks who might be upset, either because of their own coming out journey, or that of a loved one. The most enlightening workshop of the conference was hosted by Dr. Michael LaSala of Rutgers University, a professor of social work. Dr. LaSala’s REACH program provides guidance on what facilitators can do to guide and support distressed parents Brandon’s blog on his trip to Washington is at: http://focusonthefield.blogspot.com/2013/12/equalitycarved-in-marble.html?m=1
Please join us on Tuesday night, January 14, as Brandon shares his experiences of the National Convention and his insights on how we can make our support groups more insightful and powerful, supporting each other as a community.
