About the event

Hey there! Welcome to our online peer support group dedicated to destigmatizing grief and shame. We know that growing up with a parent's mental health challenges and substance use can be super challenging, and so we created resources to share with peers in hopes to create a space for us to heal through what we have or are currently going through.

This safe and inclusive virtual space is specifically designed for youth and young adults (18+). healing.

These sessions change monthly and are co-facilitated by peers who have personal experience with a parent's substance use and/or the loss of a parent to a toxic drug supply. Their lived experience adds a unique perspective and empathy to the support group, fostering a deeper understanding and connection among participants.

Who it's for:

This online support group is open to youth and young adults aged 18 and above who have experienced grief and/or shame related to a parent's substance use.

Come to share your story, ask questions, share resources or tips, or listen in a non-judgmental environment. Together, we can navigate the journey of healing and empowerment.

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory. Finally, we remain committed to continue to learn about the truth regarding Colonialism and residential schools in Canada, and will actively work towards reconciliation while advocating for our government to do so as well.
