In Canada, 1/6 youth are exposed to a parent's addiction, and stigma prevents many parents from recovery. This stigma has detrimental consequences on the health and well-being of impacted youth.
As such, we are excited to introduce Starlings Community Youth Advisory Committee.
Vision:
It is the vision of the Starlings Community Youth council to represent the voices of youth who have been impacted by the stigma of a parent’s substance use within the provincial and federal supports and policies that impact them.
If you are a youth 28 years old and younger, who has been impacted by parental addiction, or an ally to impacted youth and would like to join, please email yac@starlings.ca or agneschen@starlings.ca.
The Starlings Community Report indicating gaps in the literature, services, and policies comes out in 2 weeks. Subscribe to our newsletter at www.starlings.ca to be the first to read it.
