Peace, Love, Joy & Recovery: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Wellness
June 24, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Communities for Recovery is proud to present our 2023 Pride Celebration! Join us on Saturday, June 24th from 3 pm to 7 pm for Peace, Love, Joy & Recovery: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Wellness, in partnership with The Phoenix Austin and Thrive: Neurodivergence and Mental Health Activities Group.
We are seeking LGBTQIA+ artists and volunteers to lend their talents in an exhibition of local art and poetry, or offer their support to our community. Artists, we would like to showcase your work. Local recovery organizations, healthcare providers, and LGBTQIA+ groups, we would like to offer your information to our peers.
We will be offering a keynote recovery story speech, LGBTQIA+ history bingo, refreshments, and showcasing the work of local artists— with your help! Please contact [volunteer@cforr.org](mailto:volunteer@cforr.org) for more information about showing your art, tabling, or collaboration at the event.
Managing your health while pursuing your recovery is a challenge, and Communities for Recovery believes that wellness involves a combination of self-care, community care, and interpersonal acceptance. Being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community creates obstacles for some people in their recovery, but we believe that loving your identity and celebrating who you truly are is an essential part of improving your quality of life. That’s why this Pride month, we can’t wait to celebrate and affirm the importance of LGBTQIA+ health, wellness, and creativity in the recovery community.
