    PROGRAMS & SERVICES:

    Family Support:

    - Support Groups: Our peer support groups meet on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis, and provide opportunities for LGBTQ+ parents, caregivers, and prospective parents to meet, explore shared concerns, and lend one another a sympathetic ear in a safe space which centers their experience. Some are peer-facilitated, some are facilitated by experienced OFC staff, and some are facilitated by therapists from the community. All offer an informed space for community members to strengthen their networks of support, build resilience, and become connected to valuable community resources.

    - Playgroups: Our playgroups offer developmentally enriching and fun opportunities for parents and children to interact, in spaces where our families are centered and celebrated. We organize them by age of child, often running special multi-week educational opportunities within the group (such as Infant Massage, Music and Movement, and more).

    Workshops & Trainings:

    - Workshops: Topical workshops offer a 1-2 hour, usually interactive opportunity to gather support and resources on both LGBTQ+ specific and general parenting topics in an LGBTQ+ friendly environment. They’re held both at our San Francisco and Oakland offices, and at spaces at partner organizations, all amenable to public transport. Every adult-focused program includes free childcare and a meal or refreshments for every advanced registrant.

    - Trainings: In addition to one-time workshops, we also offer multi-week courses in positive parenting. For many years we’ve offered Triple P: Positive Parenting Program. For twelve weeks, a small group (usually less than ten participants) is facilitated by extensively trained staff. All curricular material, as well as childcare and a warm meal, is provided as part of the program, which is offered free of charge.
