The Coming Out Whole conference was held in April of 1986 with a goal of addressing challenges faced by lesbians with addictions. The conference was held in Ann Arbor, MI and was sponsored by the University of Michigan's Lesbian and Gay Male Programs Office. The collection includes planning materials, conference materials, and evaluations of the conference including video recordings of select sessions.

The Coming Out Whole Conference records document the challenges faced by lesbians who have addictions or loved ones struggling with addictions as well as strategies and challenges to overcoming these issues. The collection will be used by those seeking information on the relationship between sexuality and addictions or exploring how the lesbian community addressed addiction in the mid-1980s.
