Hi! We are so glad you found us.

We are peers who have grown up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use: the stress of a home environment trying to heal, and the stigma that meant we couldn't talk about it without fear (until we found each other). Welcome to our Starlings Peers Community. 

I know that growing up with a parent's addiction can be super stressful, so I am so proud of you for being here, and I hope you are too. 

You and your family deserve a safe and happy life, to know you are loved, and to know there is a community that has your back. 

It's not your fault, and you, your experiences and your feelings matter. I will keep reminding you until you believe it. 

Scroll through our peer library that was created for peers, by peers with lived experience with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use to help you feel less alone, more informed, and more hopeful on your healing journey.

Thanks for being here.

We are all a part of the village raising the next generation. How can you BEST contribute.

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.
