Inside this conversation, we have to look at the ways that we've internalized white supremacy and how that has become part of our practice, part of how we see our work, part of how we understand what the quote unquote problem is, and so I don't have easy answers.
What if addiction treatment could truly embrace the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ communities of color? In this eye-opening episode of 'All Ears on Addiction', host Zina Rodriguez sits down with Erica Woodland, the trailblazing Founding Director of the National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network.
Erica brings his wealth of experience as a facilitator, consultant, and healing justice practitioner to the table, sharing insights on the radical transformations needed in addiction treatment to genuinely support and liberate these marginalized groups. With over 18 years in the field, working everywhere from prisons to community clinics, Erica's perspective is both deeply informed and profoundly compassionate.
He talks about the critical role of harm reduction, the pervasive impact of white supremacy on treatment practices, and why lived experience is crucial for meaningful change. This conversation isn't just about identifying problems; it's about envisioning a future where community and healing justice take center stage. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or working in the field, Erica's vision for a more inclusive and just approach to addiction treatment will leave you inspired and hopeful.
