Parents Like Us Grey Bruce

Now available as a free digital download!

Thanks to funding from the Community Foundation Grey Bruce, the Parents Like Us Grey Bruce booklet is now available as a free digital download for caregivers, families, service providers, and community members across Grey, Bruce, and the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) territory.

What is Parents Like Us?

Parents Like Us Grey Bruce is a locally adapted guide designed to support caregivers who have a loved one experiencing substance use challenges. The resource offers practical information, insight, and encouragement to help families better understand substance use and navigate available supports.

Originally developed in British Columbia, Parents Like Us has since been successfully adapted in several Canadian communities, including Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Recognizing the need for a resource that reflected local experiences, services, and supports, the CDAS led the adaptation of the guide for Grey, Bruce, and Saugeen Ojibway Nation communities.

How Was This Resource Developed?

With support from Community Foundation Grey Bruce, CDAS engaged caregivers and youth with lived and living experience from across Grey, Bruce, and SON territory to help shape the resource. Through their input and expertise, the guide was adapted to reflect local realities, community strengths, and the services available throughout the region.

The result is a resource created by and for the community, featuring local information, supports, and perspectives that make it relevant and meaningful for families in our area.
