Lived Experience & Youth Voice Shaping Change
Young people navigating parental addiction and system involvement hold critical stories and wisdom into what they need, and how systems help & where they fail. Through Starlings’ advocacy & Storytelling initiatives, youth transform lived experience into leadership, knowledge, and systems change.

How we can support you
From a Caregiver
...your support makes me realize that I have been focussed on getting help for myself in dealing with my own grief and (my grandson) needs support and acknowledgment as much as I do. I am dealing with my daughter in addiction living on the streets just as much as he is dealing with it. I don’t think I’ve really known how to deal with his grief. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and his heart too.
