Join us as Tracy shares a glimpse into her day-to-day as a Psychologist at Starling Children's Mental Health Centre, highlighting the power of small achievements in children’s lives. “Oftentimes when somebody is struggling, the expectations from parents or school can be much higher than what they can meet at that time,” says Tracy. “When we allow kids to have small successes, then they can build self-competence and the feeling that they are able to manage their emotions and symptoms in a way that will set them on a path to success.” By supporting Steps for Kids, you help ensure every child receives the compassion, expertise and tools they need to build brighter and promising futures. 💛 👉 Want to make a difference?

As one of Starling’s dedicated Housing Stability Workers in the Home Based Support Program (HBS), Amina plays a crucial role in supporting individuals transitioning from chronic homelessness into stable housing. Yet, it is through her natural empathy and compassion that Amina connects with people to help them move into, and maintain stable housing, creating lasting change and hope for a better future. Working as part of the HBS program, Amina helps ensure individuals are comfortable and stabilized in their new home while connecting them to a circle of community support. “The first thing I like to do is build a trusting relationship and always meet people where they are at” Amina shares, highlighting the importance of having empathy and understanding for the unique circumstance of each individual. Amina’s deep desire to help those in need is what drives her to support individuals experiencing homelessness right here in our community. With her natural ability to connect with others, Amina looks at her work not just as a job, but as a fulfilling journey of empowerment that is rooted in helping others – no matter anyone’s situation.
