STARLINGS COMMUNITY
community care: empower. advocate. reduce harm. heal.
Together, we are offering hope, strengthening the resilience & promoting the healing of children impacted by a parent's substance use and society's stigma of addictions.
Every Tuesday
WHY WE EXIST:
2 important truths that currently co-exist:
1. Approx. 2 million Canadian children are experiencing the effects of their parent's substance use, which is compounded by the stigma of mental illness and addictions.
2. There are many parents with an addiction who have not had or continue to not have access to adequate supports to heal from their own past traumas and to choose sobriety.
WE HAVE A BOLD VISION TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD WHO HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY THEIR PARENT'S SUBSTANCE USE ALONG WITH SOCIETY'S STIGMA OF ADDICTIONS IS SUPPORTED TO USE THEIR RESILIENCE TO HEAL.
