The Strategy takes many forms when it comes to project engagement, which are funded through grants and in-kind supports. We engage in projects through direct and indirect involvement.

The Community Drug and Alcohol Strategy is currently adapting an existing resource to the Grey, Bruce, Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) context. This resource, called Parents Like Us, is designed to help caregivers understand and navigate a situation where their young loved one is living with substance use.

Originally developed in British Columbia, this resource has been adapted in two Ontario locations: Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay. Both adaptations have been successful and are utilized by service providers in the Grey Bruce area – the Thunder Bay version is distributed by Public Health. Therefore, the motivation for this project was to have a local resource with local supports and services, along with providing an opportunity for those in the community with lived/living experience to design a book relevant to them.

The purpose of this project is to recruit both caregivers and youth in Bruce, Grey, and SON territory to participate in adapting the Parents Like Us resource to our local context.

The final product is expected to be completed and published by end of August 2026

*Direct funding for this Project was provided by Community Foundation Grey Bruce*
