WHY WE EXIST:
Two essential truths that currently co-exist:
1. Approx. 1/6 Canadian children are experiencing the adverse effects of their parent's unhealed trauma and subsequent substance use, which is compounded by the stigma of mental illness and addictions.
2. Many parents with an addiction have not had adequate support that could enable their healing from past and ongoing traumas and could contribute to healthier substance use.
WE ARE DETERMINED TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD WHO HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY THE STIGMA OF A PARENT'S PROBLEMATIC SUBSTANCE USE IS SUPPORTED TO USE THEIR RESILIENCE TO HEAL.
For impacted individuals
Resources for individuals impacted by a parents current/past substance use.
For parents: Healing our Relationships
