The work that you do is so important and the community that you serve is underserved within the recovery community.
Imagine growing up with American Sign Language as your first language and English as your second. That's the reality Kay faced as a Child Of Deaf Adults (C.O.D.A.). In this heartfelt episode of 'The Drunken Worm Podcast', Kay opens up about her unique experiences and the challenges she encountered along the way. From her struggles with substance use to her triumphs in recovery, Kay's story is one of resilience and determination.
Now, she’s not just navigating her own path but also paving the way for others by running an ASL interpreter training program. This initiative aims to better serve the deaf community, ensuring they receive the support they need in recovery spaces. Kay also touches on the importance of video relay services and how they can make a difference. If you're curious about how someone can bridge two worlds and make a significant impact, this episode is a must-listen.
