Start a Gratitude Journal today and list: ✅ 1 thing you're grateful for ✅ 1 thing you're excited about ✅ 1 person who makes life brighter It’s okay to stop and think before writing, don’t rush yourself. And remember to be gentle with yourself. There is no wrong way to journal, and some days, finding gratitude feels easier than others. 💬 What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?

At Starling Children’s Mental Health Services, we know the holidays can be hard for families facing mental health challenges. But we also know something else: hope. Your support helps families feel whole again. When a child begins to heal, the entire family breathes easier. Parents rediscover hope. Siblings feel seen. Home becomes a place of connection, not crisis. That’s the power of your gift. Give hope this season www.starlingcs.ca/support/donate #ChildrensMentalHealth #WaterlooRegion
When Starling Employment Services connected with Caesar and Tanya at Kelsey’s Original Roadhouse, their response to hiring one of our job seekers was immediate and enthusiastic.

Their newest team member, hired through Starling, has become an integral part of the team. As a dishwasher, his responsibilities include health and safety monitoring, chemical handling, waste management, and supporting the kitchen team—all with a positive attitude. “He’s a great person,” Tanya said. “He communicates his needs clearly and shows up every day happy to be here.” 📖 Read more in our Employer Spotlight Series!
