Join PFLAG Sussex County on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Sparta United Methodist Church for an engaging and empowering training focused on building safer, more supportive communities.

We are pleased to welcome Sam Chawla-Rios of Modern Peacenik, who will guide participants through practical active bystander intervention and de-escalation techniques. This interactive session will explore how to recognize situations where support may be needed, safely intervene, and respond in ways that reduce harm while centering care and respect.

Together, we’ll learn tools to help navigate challenging or tense situations, support others in real time, and foster a stronger sense of community accountability. Whether you’re new to these concepts or looking to deepen your skills, this training offers valuable strategies you can use in everyday life.

All are welcome—LGBTQ+ individuals, family members, friends, and allies. Come as you are and leave feeling more confident, prepared, and connected. 🌈💛
