Shop Program Helps Teens


February 28, 2014 is Bell's Lets Talk Day. CTV's Max Wark came to Lutherwood and interviewed two students asking how learning trades helps them in their journey.

Thanks to CTV Kitchener and reporter Max Wark for taking the time to help us break the stigma of mental health and talk to our students. Lutherwood Tech Program Helps Teens

Renovations to our Life Launch program are complete! Thanks to generous donations from our community, the Life Launch space now provides a more comfortable, welcoming home for youth working towards independent living. Funded through donations and the Region of Waterloo, Life Launch supports youth who have accessed Safe Haven Crisis Services and are now working towards independent living. Our staff help them develop life skills and build a supportive network they can always lean on. With brighter kitchens, cozy living rooms, and private bedrooms, this space is a nurturing environment for youth to thrive in the community. #LifeLaunch #SafeHavenYouthServices #StarlingCommunityServices #StarlingHousingServices

It was a beautiful day for our annual Softball Tournament! ⚾ Starling staff and their families came together for a fun-filled day playing baseball and raising funds to give youth in our programs access to recreational activities they might not otherwise have. A big shoutout to all the winners and participants for making it a memorable event in support our community's youth! 💜 #StarlingCommunityServices #StarlingMentalHealthServices #WaterlooRegion #KidsMentalHealth

"I was different and bullied at school. When I came to Lutherwood, I didn’t want to stay. But I learned skills to help me manage situations and my emotions. When it was time to go home, I didn’t want to leave."
