When it comes to people from the LGBTQ+ community, their needs are...because they are subjected to higher rates of stigma and discrimination, which kind of keeps them outside treatment.
How can we better support the LGBTQ+ community in their journey to recovery? This episode of 'Let's Talk About Recovery' dives into the unique hurdles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals when seeking addiction treatment. Hosts Professor Jo-Hanna Ivers and Recovery Coach Sandra Losty shine a light on the importance of creating welcoming and inclusive recovery spaces.
They tackle how stigma and discrimination often prevent LGBTQ+ folks from accessing the help they need, and stress the urgency for political action and advocacy to build resources tailored to this community. The conversation doesn’t stop at the barriers; it also explores the power of meaningful relationships and holistic, trauma-informed care in sustaining long-term recovery. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own biases and consider how they can contribute to a more inclusive recovery environment.
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps for fostering a supportive culture. Tune in for a blend of personal stories, expert advice, and actionable tips that aim to make recovery accessible for everyone.
