Stonewall Recovery Centre will provide a safe space for 2SLGBTQ+ community members to get help for addictions. It will be specifically focused on the community — a safe space where people can feel more supported and understood.
Plans are underway to create Canada’s First 2SLGBTQ+ Addiction Recovery Centre right here in Calgary.
“I remember when I was a kid growing up it was a dirty little secret. I was alone. It was like being an island unto myself,” Clark said. Steve Archambault, one of the centres co-founders, points to statistics that show addiction and trauma within the queer community is 14 times that of the heterosexual community.“The same people who are protesting us today also need recovery, but how do you feel safe when you are sitting next to them and disclosing your story and trauma and the person actually thinks you shouldn’t exist,” Archambault said.
