We imagine a world where every young person can reach out for support without fear or shame.

At Starlings, we are breaking down barriers that make it difficult for the 1 in 5 young people growing up with the stress and stigma of a parent's substance use to seek out and find support, while empowering them as leaders. 

Nothing about us without us.

We honour the lived experiences of our peers as valid and legitimate.

Peers with lived and living experience with the stress & stigma of a parent's substance use, whose voices have historically been omitted or silenced, lead the development of all our resources, research, and training ensuring relevancy and effectiveness.

What people are saying.

Alberta Caregiver--Hope Kit Recipient

I’m in tears after receiving your hope kit for my kids-Thank you! I’ve passed on your information to other Al-anon members. Thanks for all you do.
The feedback I've received from the youth has been overwhelmingly positive - your grief journal was validating and helpful for them to understand and organize their thoughts and feelings. One youth remarked that she can't talk to anyone about her mom's substance use because no one wants to hear it, and even if they did she didn't want to traumatize them too...

Youth Worker, Ontario

The focus of your work is inviting a huge shift in understanding stigma. Thank you.
