Reimagining Recovery Through a Gender-Inclusive Lens

Surya Sampson, Director of Health Equity, hosted a webinar on gender inclusivity in recovery, defining key terms like gender identity, expression, cisnormativity, and heteronormativity. She explained how these concepts affect recovery trajectories and support access for transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive people. The session included a video discussion on microaggressions and strategies for allies to support LGBTQ+ individuals, emphasizing the importance of standing up against stereotypes and fostering inclusive environments.
