About Parker & Assu

At Parker & Assu, we transform our personal stories, leadership, and nonprofit expertise into powerful tools for peer-led education, advocacy, and policy reform. Drawing from our lived experiences, we create tailored cultural training and diversity programs that help leaders, managers, and teams support individuals facing substance use, mental health challenges, and marginalization, strengthen internal support, and foster empowerment within organizations. Our goal is to create compassionate, inclusive environments where everyone can thrive. Founded by Kevin Parker and Rachel Plamondon-Assu, Parker & Assu has over 25 years of combined experience. Our journeys through addiction and recovery have provided us with deep insights into coping mechanisms, displacement, and the systemic barriers that often isolate those in need. These lived experiences shape our approach, allowing us to meet individuals where they are and support them in their journey toward wellness and growth. By sharing our stories, we aim to shift perspectives, build empathy, and break down barriers. Wherever people are welcomed, we strive to ensure they feel truly included.
