Volume 1: A Trauma-Informed Co-Colouring Book For Emotional Expression
 
Designed for professionals supporting young people who are growing up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use, this interactive colouring book fosters social-emotional learning, strengthens trust, and encourages open dialogue. Through guided conversation prompts and non-stigmatizing language that explicitly discusses parental mental health and substance use challenges, it helps caregivers validate experiences, normalize complex emotions, and create a safe space for self-expression.
 
(Volume 2 is the same resource, but instead of identifying , "parental substance use (addiction)" it states, challenges at home and in community".
 
This resource is also relevant for adults looking for a tool to reconnect with their inner child. Ideal for therapists, educators, and support workers, it facilitates meaningful connections while empowering young people to share their feelings in a developmentally appropriate way.
 
Buy One, Give One
When you purchase an item, you’re not just supporting Starlings—you’re extending care. For each purchase, we’re able to donate one to our Hope Kits, which go directly to youth and families in Alberta navigating the realities of parental substance use and systemic barriers.
 
This is community in action. Mutual aid through small acts. A way to remind young people: you are seen, you matter, and you are not alone.
