Affirming the Treatment Needs of Our LGBTQIA+ Community
By Bethany Franklin, M.Ed., LCSW, CAADC, RACS
Kiko's Story: Journey to Recovery & Authenticity
"For Caron to allow me to live that way was integral and paramount in my recovery."
Assessing for LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Services
Connection makes all the difference. Asking intentional questions can help you carefully evaluate and choose the best fit for you for your behavioral and mental health needs and addiction treatment for substance use disorder.
- What experience do you have working with the LGBTQIA+ community?
- Do you have specific training or certifications related to working with the LGBTQIA+ community?
- Do you offer LGBTQIA+ specific programming?
- Does the treatment environment foster an atmosphere of safety, allowing for open sharing?
