For Family Caregivers

This space is for family members supporting young people aged 5-28 who have been impacted by the stress and stigma of a parent’s substance use to access resources, supports, and tools.

We bring a peer-informed perspective. Starlings’ caregiver supports are shaped by youth voice, lived experience, and years of community-based learning. We focus on reducing stigma, building shared language, and supporting caregivers to show up with care, without shame, fear, or blame.
