About the event

Share your expression of interest for our Peer Mentorship Program:

Overview: 

Welcome to the Starlings Peer Mentorship Program – a vibrant community for individuals impacted by the stress and stigma of a parent’s substance use, eager to harness their experiences for positive change.

At Starlings, we embrace an anti-oppressive and healing-centered approach, recognizing the profound impact systemic barriers have on shaping our narratives. We understand the complexities of identity, worth, and trust that arise from these experiences.

Through our program, participants are invited to connect with peers, share their stories, and understand and confront systemic barriers head-on. By cultivating leadership skills and fostering a positive sense of agency and identity, we empower participants to not only identify how stigma has affected their own lives but also inspire change in how our communities understand and address the impacts of stigma on youth whose parents use substances.

Application: 

Once you share your expression of interest to our PMP by filling out this form, you will receive an introductory email  with an invitation for a 1:1 information session to see if the program meets your needs and capacity. 

Commitment:

This program is a full 8 weeks, with 2 hour virtual group sessions weekly, plus an additional 45 minutes of self directed and reflective online work prior to group sessions.  

Start date will be September 2024 in MST time zone- exact dates to be determined. 

We ask that all particpants be able to commit 6 out of the 8 sessions due to the time and commitment it takes our team and the group to organize and prepare this program.  We know the curve balls life can throw at us, and so understand that doing a full 8 weeks can be challenging for some. If this program interests you but the time commitment doesnt work, email us at hello@starlings.ca to learn about our other ways to connect or be mentored.
