Confidentiality |
|
CONFIDENTIALITY is
REQUIRED from
ALL ATTENDEES
Every attendee attending our
support meetings MUST adhere to our
confidentiality requirement. Nothing
said at a support meeting and no one seen at
a support meeting can be shared with anyone
else outside of the support meeting.
This means no talking with friends, family
members, co-workers, etc. outside the
support meeting, and no sharing of
information on the Internet including social
media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
If anyone becomes aware of anyone else not
following this confidentiality requirement,
please report it to a PFLAG Phoenix Board
member or any of our support group
facilitators for further actions. |

The church
is a stand-alone complex located on the
northeast corner of 2nd Street and East Willetta Street. Park in the main parking lot
