Pride and Recovery: Beck Gee-Cohen on LGBTQ+ Support and Sobriety

Recovery is a social justice action. So I think we're perfectly positioned, as a recovery community, to support, at the same time, the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
How do recovery and LGBTQ+ identities intersect? In this episode of 'Airing Addiction', hosts Lisa Blanchard and Jesse Chaison chat with Beck Gee-Cohen, MA LADC, to shed light on this vital topic. Beck, who has spent years working with the LGBTQ+ community, brings a wealth of experience and passion to the conversation. He talks about the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in recovery, from battling stigma to finding safe spaces where they can heal.
The discussion also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on addiction and mental health within the LGBTQ+ community. Beck emphasizes that recovery is more than just overcoming addiction; it's a social justice action. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting LGBTQ+ identities in the journey to sobriety. Tune in to gain valuable insights and feel inspired to support your community.
