About the CoSP
The Starlings Community of Practice brings together professionals, researchers, peer leaders, caregivers, policy makers, and community organizations to learn from one another and strengthen systems of care.
The CoSP is led and moderated by Starlings Community, an organization internationally recognized for their lived experience and leadership in research-informed, youth-centred approaches to supporting those impacted by parental substance use.
​
At its core, this CoSP is about connection and capacity-building. It’s a space to:
-
Reflect on practice in a non-punitive, supportive space
-
Bridge research and theory into day-to-day clinical work, whether you are tied to this work through passion, lived experience, or both.
-
Share tools, resources, and emerging knowledge
-
Build relationships and referral pathways across sectors
-
Attend to sustainability and collective care in this work
