Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if an Indigenous led peer-mentor program can provide Indigenous youth and young adults with the support needed to improve their distress and improve their diabetes control. Also, we will learn about Indigenous youth and young adults experience with diabetes.

• Can a peer-mentoring program reduce diabetes distress among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes?
• What is it like for Indigenous youth and young adults to be live with diabetes?
• Can a peer-mentoring program reduce global distress and improve resilience among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes?
• Can a peer-mentoring program lead to changes in lifestyle (diet, physical activity, substance use) and diabetes related clinical outcomes among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes. Researchers will compare distress, resilience, lifestyles, and diabetes related clinical outcomes before participating in the peer-mentoring program and at 6 and 12 months into the program. Additionally, participants will be asked to share their journey with diabetes through photos throughout the program Participants will:
• Be paired with peer-mentors who also have diabetes and they will share their journey with diabetes
• Participate in activities (grocery tours, walking clubs, land-based activities, cooking classes) held by peer-mentors
• Complete questionnaires on distress, resilience, and lifestyle every 6 months.
• Participate in Photovoice workshops to share their stories through pictures.
