We know how challenging it can be to support a youth who is impacted by the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use, and we also know that your care can be one of the greatest sources of well-being a youth can have.
1 in 5 Canadian youth grow up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use, and youth have said the family could be one of the greatest sources of shame AND/OR hope and healing.
This space is for Canadian caregivers (Parents, aunts, uncles, Elders, grandparents) to be empowered in providing support without stigma to the youth in their lives. Developed and facilitated by Agnes, a registered nurse and peer, this Empowering Caregivers workshop uses anti-oppressive and holistic approaches to build the skills of caregivers who support a youth who is growing up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use.
Objectives:
- understand how the youth experience stigma
- how stress can affect thoughts, emotions and behaviours
- learn about peer-created resources
