Peace, Love, Joy & Recovery: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Wellness
June 25, 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 Galano Club, The Phoenix Austin, Austin Mental Health Community, The Young Invincibles, Oxford House, RecoveryATX and Thrive: Neurodivergence and Mental Health Activities Group.
We will be offering a keynote recovery story speech from Dennis Cox, LGBTQIA+ history bingo, and showcasing the work of local artists and poets in a Pride month art exhibition! Enjoy pizza and refreshments, then visit our community partners at their tables to learn about their local wellness and LGBTQIA+ resources.
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.
