Intro: Navigating the Stress & Stigma of a Parent's Substance use

If you have been affected by the stress and/or stigma related to a parent's substance use such as opioids, alcohol, or other, and are 16 years old and up, this peer group is for you!

In this 6 week peer program, a variety of peers from university students to parents, will lead the group through the Forward with Hope Guide, a 100 page guide of stories and information for impacted individuals:

Key focus areas include:

• increasing your understanding of how your childhood stress can be impacting your emotions, behaviours, and well-being today

• consider and find, " who are my safe people and spaces" and where do I find them

• see and support your strength and resilience

• feel connected t a peer community through story telling

• confidently navigate and connect with systems and community supports
• increasing your sense of hope and belonging
