You Are Not Alone

Addiction, mental health issues, trauma, and related life challenges don’t discriminate. But they disproportionally impact people from historically marginalized communities–especially women of color, the LGBTQ+ community, folks in larger bodies, and neurodivergent individuals.

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. It is shaped by identity, access, lived experience, culture, and the systems we rely on to recover. Recovery spaces should not perpetuate identity-based trauma and discrimination. And yet, harm still occurs.

As our communities and the recovery movement grow, so does our responsibility. Without addressing how bias and stigma show up in our spaces, we risk perpetuating them.

Why This Work Matters Now

Racism is not only interpersonal—it is systemic. It shapes who feels seen, supported, and like they belong.

While experiences like trauma, addiction, eating disorders, and mental health challenges don’t discriminate, access to support, tools, and resources often does. Women of color are more likely to encounter barriers to care and less likely to experience trust, safety, and belonging within recovery spaces than their white counterparts.

Even when we are well-intentioned, harm can still occur—because many of us were never given the tools we needed for reconciliation and repair or accountability and change. Without intentional practice, recovery spaces can unintentionally recreate the very harm they seek to heal.

This work asks us to stay present when things feel uncomfortable, be curious about what we may not see, and be committed to creating the kind of recovery spaces that don’t just welcome people, but truly hold them while they’re there.

“We do our own individual work in order to create and hold healing spaces for everyone. All women deserve recovery.”

– SHE RECOVERS Intention & Guiding Principles

What This Learning Environment Will Be Like

This is a brave, relational learning space. The depth of this work focuses on engagement—not passive consumption.

Grounded in trauma-informed practice and an identity-centered lens, this training moves beyond theory into lived, real-world application.

You can expect:

  • Presence over perfection
  • Practice over performance
  • Curiosity over criticism
  • A balance of guidance, reflection, and dialogue
  • Accountability rooted in compassion, not shame

Each session includes:

  • Facilitated teachings grounded in lived experience and expertise
  • Guided reflection and self-inquiry
  • Participant dialogue and shared learning
  • Real-world application for recovery spaces
Between sessions, you’ll engage with curated resources and integration practices. All sessions will be recorded for those unable to attend live.

Who This Training is For

This training is for women and non-binary individuals who identify with women’s communities and are:

  • Recovery space-holders, facilitators, and volunteers
  • Community leaders, organizers, and peer supporters
  • Professionals working in recovery or related fields
  • Committed to cultivating more inclusive, equitable recovery spaces

You do not need to have everything figured out to be here.

This is a space for learning, reflection, and practice in community—grounded in a shared commitment to expanding belonging and redefining how recovery spaces are held.

QuoteMarks White
“This training helped me see where I had unintentionally reinforced exclusion in my own recovery community. I could show up with my blind spots and be called in—not called out.”

What you’ll walk away with

By the end of this training, you will:

  • Recognize how racism, colonialism, bias, and systemic harm can show up in recovery spaces
  • Have language to name what you’re seeing and experiencing
  • Build capacity to have difficult but necessary conversations
  • Understand how to move toward reconciliation and repair when harm occurs
  • Feel more equipped to co-create inclusive recovery spaces where people experience real belonging

You’ll leave with practical tools, language, and understanding based on the lived experience that you can bring directly into the spaces you hold. When moments of discrimination, tension, or harm arise, you will be prepared to stay present, move with awareness, and respond with care.

“What stood out was the integration of lived experience with clear frameworks. It didn’t feel abstract or performative. The approach to facilitation was practical, relational, and vulnerable–and something I will never forget!”

Jo Anne Walduck is a trauma-informed, HAES-aligned, fat, trans, AuDHD coach and therapist, specialised in recovery in its largest, most radical and holistic sense.

Raised in the UK, she has lived and worked in France since 2007, teaching for a decade before burning out and reconverting as a coach, then getting sober, coming out, transitioning through a pandemic, and integrating grief and loss (of family and body) to her recovery work.

After 15 years in Paris and Lyon, she moved to the Normandy coast and works virtually in English and French with people all around the world, and in person at a small wellbeing practice in Dieppe.

Jo’s main guiding principle is “hard on systems, kind to symptoms” – recognising the importance of patience, care, and kindness on an individual level while remaining committed to dismantling all systems of oppression and dominance.

She runs the support elements at FEDUP (Fighting Eating Disorders in Underrepresented Populations), ensuring the general and BIPOC support groups are run and financed—even as all US-based trans/intersex-related support has lost all corporate, state, and federal funding.

Is this training for me?

This training is for women and non-binary individuals who identify with women’s communities. It’s designed for recovery space-holders, facilitators, and those who feel called to create more inclusive, anti-racist spaces of belonging, whether personally or professionally.

I am a woman of color. Is this for me?

Yes. This series focuses on creating spaces where women of color—and others who have been historically marginalized—may feel a greater sense of belonging. Your lived experience is welcome here. You are invited to engage in whatever way feels right for you—without expectation of additional emotional labor.

I am a man. Can I attend?

We appreciate your interest. This series is a gender-centered learning space for women and non-binary individuals connected to women’s communities. Future offerings may be available for broader participation.

Are there any prerequisite trainings I need to participate in?

No. This learning space welcomes both those new to this work and those continuing to deepen it.

Will I be called on or put on the spot?

No. This trauma-informed space is invitational. You can choose how you would like to participate.

What if I don’t facilitate or hold space in a recovery community?

You are still welcome. While this training is designed with recovery space-holders in mind, it is also open to individuals in recovery and allied professionals who want to deepen their understanding of how they show up in the spaces they occupy.

What if I can’t attend live?

Live participation is encouraged; this is a relational and interactive learning experience. Recordings will be made available for those unable to attend live.

How is this training delivered?

We gather online for four weeks, every Tuesday from 10:00-11:30 AM PT, beginning June 23, 2026. You will also have access to online platforms for session access, resources, and connection between sessions.

How much time do I need to dedicate to this training?

6 hours for live sessions (4 x 90 minutes), plus ~1 hour per week for self-reflection and integration between sessions. Participants can expect to complete the material in about 10 hours total.

Six hours feels like a lot of training time.

We have intentionally designed this training to be relational, interactive, and spacious for meaningful connection and skills development. Participants are welcome to tend to their own energy by taking breaks during the 90-minute sessions, turning their cameras off, taking movement snacks, eating, and/or doing what they need for their own comfort.

How long will I have access to the training materials?

Live recordings and access to the online learning platform will be accessible for six months after the final session. All course materials are available for download with lifetime access.
