Reduced Parking at Front Door Between June 30 - July 28


on June 29, 2018
Front Door 2016

Our Front Door (1770 King St. E.) parking lot is being resurfaced in sections which will greatly reduce parking availability, including Front Door Walk-in services on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If there are no parking spots available, visitors may use the Eastwood Collegiate parking lot during this period. Please contact us (519-749-2932) if you have accessibility concerns (including mobility, strollers, difficulty walking on uneven surfaces) and we will make special arrangements. Thank you for your patience!

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

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. For them, hiring isn’t just about filling a position—it’s about strengthening community ties. “We can help the community, and Starling helps us hire great people,” Tanya shared. 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!

"I am in awe of the courage it takes for someone with a mental illness to get out of bed and just try again; even when life feels impossible. Mental illness is isolating. I want to thank Lutherwood for being there and helping my daughter. I am so grateful, and so proud to be her mom."
