PFLAG Meeting

PFLAG to host Western Lane Crisis Response presentation

PFLAG’s first meeting of the new year will feature a presentation by the Western Lane Crisis Response team at its January 13 gathering. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Florence United Methodist Church, located on the corner of Kingwood and Second, one block west of Highway 101.

The Western Lane Crisis Response team (WLCR) responds to the scene of various emergencies in the greater Florence community, including upriver in Mapleton and Swisshome-Deadwood, offering support and guidance to community members who find themselves faced with unexpected traumatic situations or mental health crises. They offer emotional support, assessment, community resources, and follow-up to help people in through difficult times. Staff are on call 24 hours a day through the 911 system dispatcher. WLCR also makes helpful literature available at no cost from www.wlfea.org/mobile-crisis-response.

Consider bringing a friend to the meeting. It’s free and there are always refreshments.
