$101,000 raised by Hockey Helps the Homeless


Hockey

We want to thank Hockey Helps the Homeless for being a game changer and raising $101,000 this year for five local homeless support charities, including Lutherwood's Safe Haven. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the estimated 3,500 people who will experience homelessness in Kitchener-Waterloo this year!

Hockey Helps the Homeless is an annual tournament in Kitchener-Waterloo Region where men and women get a chance to play with hockey greats and raise funds to help the homeless in our community.

💬 Mindful Monday Tip 💬 Gratitude grows when shared. Today, have a conversation with someone you trust. Each of you can share three things you feel grateful for. 💜Listening to each other and reflecting on your answers can help you feel more connected. Remember, while the holidays can be stressful for many youth and adults, gratitude is one gentle way to look at the good things in your life and reflect on them. It may not make every problem disappear, but it can help you feel calmer, more hopeful, and more connected to the people you care about. 💬 Share this with someone you're grateful for and tell them why! #MindfulMonday #GratitudePractice #HolidayWellness
Tonight marks the beginning of Hanukkah. To everyone celebrating, we wish you and your loved ones warmth, light and many cherished moments this Hanukkah season.
🎁 Yesterday, the Waterloo Regional Police Service dropped off gifts for our Holiday Hope Drive, helping kids at Starling Children's Mental Health Centre and Safe Haven Youth Services. Your generosity is restoring hope and bringing joy to the children, youth, and families in our care and we’re grateful for your partnership and compassion! 💙 @officialwrps #HolidayHopeDrive #GiveHope #StarlingCommunityServices
This holiday season, you can be the reason a child finds hope. ✨❄️    For families raising children struggling with mental health, the holidays can feel overwhelming. At Starling Community Services (formerly Lutherwood), we see those challenges every day... but we also see what’s possible when healing begins.    🌸 Emma was just seven when severe anxiety silenced her voice. Her parents felt lost—until they found Starling. With therapy and family support funded by donors like you, Emma began to heal. Today, her laughter, once muted by fear, fills her home like music.    💜 Your gift could be the turning point for a child like Emma. Every donation helps a child reclaim their childhood and a family rediscover hope.  🎁 Donate now and help children and families heal - not just for the holidays, but all year long:    Visit www.starlingcs.ca/help-children-and-families-heal   #HelpFamiliesHeal #MentalHealthMatters #StarlingCommunityServices #GiveHope

The holiday season can feel overwhelming, but gratitude can help you slow down and find calm. This month we're sharing tips on how to practice gratitude during the holiday season. 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? Share in the comments! For more ideas on what to include in a gratitude journal, check out our Children's Mental Health blog "Practicing Gratitude this Holiday Season."

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
