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.

Peer mentoring
BehavioralIndigenous young adult peer mentors who will develop and deliver the program based on needs and wants of our participants. The program will be built on their experience and ideas. They will be empowered to guide the program in the direction they see best for their communities.
Diabetes Distress
Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale from 0-100, higher score means more distress
Global Distress
0 item Kessler Psychological Distress scale (K10), from 10-50, the higher the score the greater the global distress.
Resilience-Children
Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R), for 10-18 years old. Scale from 17-85, the higher the score the greater the resilience
