Episode 7
Join me for this enlightening discussion with Dr. Andre Vlok (@vlokandre), licensed clinical psychologist, as we talk about mental health and mass incarceration, substance abuse in the LGBTQ community, and finding and founding safe spiritual communities. Dr. Vlok, who grew up in South Africa under Apartheid rule, now works with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, overseeing one of the most complex substance abuse treatment programs in the Southern United States. In his spare time, he also serves on the pastoral staff of the largest queer affirming church in the world.
