“Patient Empowerment: Pride + Substance,” hosted by Equitas Health Institute

Thursday, June 9, 6pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Pride is a time of celebration, but oftentimes folks living with addiction or in recovery can feel excluded from the fun, with many events centered around consuming substances.

Join moderator Myles Stickle, LISW-S (he/him), and a panel of guests for a conversation about the experience of folks in recovery and how we can enjoy the Pride season while sober.

Mission Statement: The Patient Empowerment series centers the experiences of LGBTQ+ community members with matters of health and healthcare. With an emphasis on uplifting intersectional lived experiences, the series gives voice to the issues important to LGBTQ+ communities while empowering panelists and audiences to become advocates for themselves, each other, and our communities.

Stonewall Columbus, founded in 1981, is a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ life in Columbus. Today, Stonewall’s mission and vision is to “increase visibility, inclusion, and connection for the LGBTQ+ community so we see a community where all of us thrive.” The Equitas Health Institute is the education and research division of Equitas Health, focused on reducing LGBTQ+ and HIV health disparities. Through the Patient Empowerment series, the two organizations engage local and regional LGBTQ+ communities in a shared goal of reducing stigma and promoting good health for all.
