Family to Family is a toll-free national helpline and chatroom, this year operating from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. (EST) on Thursday, October 10. This one day, national event puts callers and computer users in one-on-one confidential contact with parents, families and friends of lesbians and gays. Anyone who would like to access the helpline can do so in one of two ways: Call 1-800-24-PFLAG from anywhere in the U.S. -or- Use America Online keyword: "PFLAG" to access the chat room (PlanetOut is helping facilitate the online aspect). We have more than 75 volunteers -- parents and friends who have been in similar situations, and professional counselors -- prepared to take phone calls on that day. We now need to make sure that people who need the contact information have it. Could you forward this information to your list? Anyone who has additional questions can feel free to call Shelley Golden at 202/638-4200 x13, or send e-mail to SGolden@pflag.org. Thanks!
