Are you a parent of a lesbian, gay or bisexual son or daughter?

Do you want to talk to, or meet, other parents who understand the concerns you may have?

SPLAGWales aims to help parents who have a lesbian daughter or gay son come to terms with their child's sexuality. Parents may have feelings of anxiety about their child's future health and happiness, perhaps of guilt that they somehow made them this way, or a feeling of sadness at the loss of the future they had thought they would have. They may be worried about how society will treat their child, and how friends and other family members will react. These feelings are shared by many other parents and, by talking to you and giving you appropriate information, we may be able to help allay your anxieties.

THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE ARE:

• Two telephone helplines
• A quarterly newsletter
• Information packs
• Support groups for those living within travelling distance of Cardiff
• Details of other organisations who may be able to help you

• "We worried that our daughter would encounter prejudice and hostility"
• "If only we'd had more information we could have understood earlier"

• "If only this organisation had been around when I was a young man I would not have lost touch with my parents"

• "I could see how my mother became more accepting when she met other parents of gay people"

• "My parents were convinced I would lead a sad and lonely life. SPLAG helped her to see that there was no reason why I should not be as happy as my brother and sister"
