"Forward: A Free guide to support the Wellbeing of Youth and Adults who have been Impacted by the Stigma of a Parent's Drug or Alcohol use."
I am proud to share the release of our new guide: Forward. This guide is intended to increase a youth's understanding of their experiences with a parent's drug or alcohol use while empowering them to use their incredible resilience to move forward with hope and healing.
Included in it are details on stress, the brain, triggers, coping, intergenerational healing, and reconnecting to ourselves, our community, and our culture, with stories of youth and adults with lived experience throughout.
With this week being National Addiction Awareness Week in Canada, I am incredibly excited that we can provide a one of a kind resource for youth and young adults impacted by the stigma of a parent's drug or alcohol use, while also inspiring a community that is committed to their healing.
If you are interested in hosting a poster in your organization, business, or school please email me at agneschen@starlings.ca. As stigma can make it incredibly difficult for impacted youth to reach out, we have included a QR code for impacted youth to easily access the guide without needing to ask for it.
Together, we can ensure that children, youth, and whole families can move forward with hope and healing.
