Recovery Housing
NEEDS TO BE A WELCOMING SPACE FOR THOSE IN THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
This hasn’t been done before. We are creating training to support the LGBTQ+ recovery community in recovery spaces. Whether it’s recovery housing or recovery community organization we know that the community is largely underserved and we’re ready to do the work with YOU!
LISTENING SESSION
The LGBTQ+ listening session is our first in three series for recovery housing professionals and those that identify in the LGBTQ+ community to have a robust discussion regarding community needs.
We need your help!
Come join us on date and time with recovery leaders starting the conversation around LGBTQ+ support in recovery spaces.
Register in advance for this meeting:
Come along with us on this journey. We need your insights, your questions, your objections (which always make the project stronger)
We live in an exciting time, when the gender binary is being expanded beyond our dreams. Recovery Housing is growing into this future.
