Empowerment in Community


Hey there, we are peers across Canada who have grown up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use. You too? We are so glad you are here.
If you or someone you love is in immediate physical danger, please call the distress centre closest to you, or 911.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, AND YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO NAVIGATE THE STRESS AND STIGMA RELATED TO THESE EXPERIENCES AND EMOTIONS ALONE.
ps. Lady Gaga's foundation, Born this way, shared our guide and story. (we're kinda proud;)


Having a parent who has an addiction can be really stressful.
PARENTAL ADDICTION IS STRESSFUL. OVER TIME, THIS CHRONIC STRESS IN CHILDHOOD CAN IMPACT HOW WE SEE AND FEEL IN THE WORLD, AS WELL AS MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO COPE WITH STRESS AS ADULTS. BUT DON'T WORRY! WE CAN LEARN NEW WAYS OF COPING AND FEELING.
