Feeling the winter blues? You're not alone! Here's a few self-care tips for winter wellnes! The third Monday of January has become known as "Blue Monday" and is deemed the most depressing day of the year. While there is limited scientific evidence to support the Blue Monday theory, many of us may be feeling the effects of the winter's lack of sunshine, the cooler temperatures, or Seasonal Effective Disorder (SAD) on our mental health and wellness. Try one or two of these and see how you feel after! Just a little bit of self-care can go a long way, especially during the winter months. Check out our blog to learn more about SAD on our Children's Mental Health blog: "Coping with SAD Season – What it is and How to Manage it" #WinterWellness #MindfulMondays #MentalHealthAndWellness #BlueMonday
We’re so grateful for the incredible generosity of our community through the Holiday Hope Drive and the TW Properties Food Drive! 🎁💜 Together, you’ve made the holidays brighter for families in our community kids and youth at Starling, and that’s the true spirit of the season. ✨ #HolidayHope #StarlingCommunityServices #ThankYou #CommunitySupport
Running a business that services hundreds of buildings across Ontario requires a skilled and reliable team. For Cinnamon, Executive Vice President of River Rock Laundry, the Canada-Ontario Job Grant became a strategic solution to strengthen her workforce and support internal growth. River Rock Laundry provides commercial laundry services to more than 600 buildings in Ontario. With such a wide reach, the company depends on its service technicians to keep equipment running smoothly. One of those technicians is Joseph, who joined the team while still in high school and quickly showed initiative and a desire to grow. With financial support from the Job Grant, Joseph was able to pursue the certification required to safely work on gas and electric dryers. “It’s not just a job anymore, it’s a career,” Cinnamon shared. “He’s found the right fit, and he feels really great about it.” Read more in our Employer Spotlight Series - link in bio! @riverrocklaundry #EmployerSpotlight #WorkforceDevelopment #EmployeeSuccess #StarlingEmploymentServices

In a world that never stops scrolling, taking a pause can feel impossible, but it’s worth it. ⏲ Too much screen time can weigh on mental health, especially for kids and teens. Anxiety, stress, and poor sleep often hide behind the screens. 🌱 This year, let’s choose balance. Start small: a tech-free meal or a quiet moment before bed. These little steps can help you feel more present and connected to yourself and those around you. What’s your favorite offline activity? Drop it in the comments! #DigitalWellness #MentalWellness #ChildrensMentalHealth #MindfulMonday
Over the holidays, Maham and the team at Muslim Women's Association Waterloo wanted to give back to their local community. They discovered Starling and felt it was a perfect fit. Together, they collected thoughtful gifts and cozy essentials, wrapping them into beautiful gift baskets and delivered them to our Children's Mental Health Centre. Thank you, Maham and team, for making the holidays brighter for so many! #StarlingHolidayHope #CommunityGiving #WaterlooRegionCommunity #MentalHealthMatters #KidsMentalHealth
