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.

Location: First Congregational United Church of Christ (UCC)
1407 N. 2nd St., Phoenix (½ block south of McDowell on 2nd St.)  (Map)

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 (off 2nd St.).  The entrance door is midway along the backside of the church.  Signs or a volunteer will direct you where to go from there.  Try to relax -- you'll meet only warm and caring people inside!

Q&A:  Why are support meetings held at churches?
