Human trafficking is the fastest-growing crime in Canada, and it’s happening right here in Waterloo Region. At Starling's Safe Haven Youth Services in Downtown Kitchener, we meet kids in the aftermath, when there’s nowhere else to go, no one to call. Nowhere to feel safe. But because of your support, we can say: “You’re safe now.” And we’ve seen the change: 💜The first smile in weeks 💜Eye contact again 💜A youth saying, “I think I’m ready to try” Your gift helps rewrite their story. Be the reason they believe in themselves again. Donate Now to help a youth feel safe, seen, and supported. Visit www.starlingcs.ca/support/donate
What an inspiring day at our annual Newcomer Career Conference in Guelph! We welcomed a great group of passionate newcomers eager to take the next step in their Canadian career journey. Our expert panel sparked powerful conversations around key job search questions, including: 💼 Should you include your survival job on your resume? 📝 Is a cover letter necessary? 🤖 Can AI help you land your next role? 🎤 And when is it okay to brag? The day wrapped up with a vibrant networking session connecting job seekers with employers and community partners. 👏 Kudos to everyone who showed up, asked questions, made connections, and moved one step closer to their career goals. We’re proud to be part of your journey!
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Enbridge for rolling up their sleeves and helping us build a Gaga pit, and to both Enbridge and Home Depot for their generous support in making this dream a reality for the kids at our Children's Mental Health Centre. 🏃‍♂️💜 Gaga Ball, a fast-paced, lower-impact twist on dodgeball, is played in a large octagonal pit and has quickly become a favorite among kids for its fun and inclusive gameplay. @enbridge @homedepotcanada #CommunitySupport #MentalHealthMatters

Read our blog: “Spending Time Outside: Benefits of Nature on Mental Health and Wellbeing.” 📌 Save this post for later or share it with someone who could use a gentle reminder to step outside. #ChildrensMentalHealth #NatureHeals #ParentingSupport #FallIntoWellness #MentalHealthMatters #WaterlooRegion
