As many of you know, June is the month where the LGBTQ community is celebrated worldwide. What that means for us at CTO is both recognition for our amazing queer employees and for the uniquely challenging experience for those who identify with the LGBTQ community. Various forms of discrimination and intolerance have led the community to experience higher rates of opioid use and nearly double the rate of substance use disorder than their heterosexual counterparts. We encourage everybody to take some time this month to deepen their understanding of the queer experience, whether that be by talking to a friend or loved one in the LGBTQ community or doing some research online.
June Marks the Start of Pride Month!
