When children and youth feel anxious in a social environment, they often try to protect themselves from discomfort. One way to do this is through safety behaviours.  

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, 18 children between the ages of 7 and 12 experienced a summer they’ll never forget at Starling’s Day Camp. More than just a break from routine, our camp helped ease the transition from therapeutic care back to community schools, while giving kids the chance to simply be kids.

Launched in 2007, Apparel Decorating Co. has grown into a vibrant team of 14. But for Adam, the real story isn’t in the headcount, it’s in the heart behind it. He is proud to share that half of his team came through Starling Employment Services, a partnership that reflects the very values his company was founded on. “Starling didn’t just help me hire,” Adam says. “They helped me find amazing people.”
