Book a Lunch n' Learn
An estimated 1 in 5 young people grow up with parental substance use challenges. Many navigate these experiences quietly due to fear, stigma, or uncertainty about where to turn for support.
Starlings works nationally with youth, caregivers, and professionals to reduce stigma, strengthen relational supports, and translate youth insight into safer practice.
Starlings Lunch & Learns introduce professionals to the realities youth face, the impact stigma can have on help-seeking, and ways we can strengthen safer, more responsive systems of support.
These sessions are designed to spark reflection, share emerging knowledge, and introduce the work of Starlings Community.
