Our monthly Toms River support meeting encompasses a full range of LGBTQ-related topics. In order to enhance our services, PFLAG Jersey Shore partners with Ocean Partnership for Children (OPC) and the Family Support Organization of Ocean County (FSO). This partnership allows the following services to be provided together at the same time and location each month:

• Support meeting for adults over the age of 18 provided by PFLAG Jersey Shore
• Support meeting & recreational activities provided for teens by OPC through their Your Authentic Self (YAS) meeting
• Childcare provided by FSO to allow families an opportunity to attend our meetings who otherwise would be unable to due to lack of childcare

We welcome the entire family to attend our monthly Toms River support group meetings.

Location:

Ocean Partnership for Children Building
36 Washington Street
Toms River, NJ

*Parking is located in the back of the building, accessible on Sherriff Street.

This meeting focuses exclusively on topics relating to gender identity. We welcome parents and other family members, friends, allies, and transgender or gender nonconforming people to attend.

This month, PFLAG Jersey Shore proudly presents Rabbi Mike Moskowitz as a special guest speaker.  Rabbi Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah. He is a deeply traditional and radically progressive advocate for trans rights and a vocal ally for LGBT inclusivity. Rabbi Moskowitz received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir, in Jerusalem, and in Beth Medrash Govoha, in Lakewood, NJ. His work on behalf of trans rights began while he served as the Rabbi of the Old Broadway Synagogue in Harlem and the Aish NY Rabbi at Columbia University.  His writings can be found at www.rabbimikemoskowitz.com

Location:
Church House of the Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury
352 Sycamore Avenue

*Although our meetings are held in a church, PFLAG Jersey Shore is not a religious organization and is not affiliated with any specific religion.
