Race, Identity, and Treatment: A Candid Chat with Dr. Lisa Martin

We have to start thinking about this now, because, hands on those wheels, make sure everyone can see you, because you're going to be treated different. It's absolutely true, right youth of color with behavioral issues.
Race and identity aren't just hot topics in the news; they deeply affect people's lives and their paths to recovery. In this episode of The Beyond Addiction Show, Dr. Josh King sits down with Dr. Lisa Martin, the Director of Training at The Jewish Board and Family Services in New York.
They dive into how race and identity can shape an individual's need for treatment, shedding light on the often overlooked concept of White Privilege and its impact on both minority and majority groups. Dr. Martin brings her wealth of knowledge in trauma-informed and culturally affirming services to the table, offering valuable insights into how therapists can better support their clients. The conversation also touches on addiction as a disease, exploring how different perceptions influence treatment choices.
With a focus on self-care for marginalized individuals and the crucial role of family support, this episode is packed with practical advice and thought-provoking discussions. If you're interested in understanding the complex interplay between race, identity, and addiction treatment, this episode is a must-listen.
