STARLING Client Portal
Welcome to STARLING: Our Healing Justice Collective
As Peer Counselors, staff members, and humans of SQSH, we play a crucial role in supporting our local queer community and organizing landscape. As care-workers, we may find ourselves facing additional challenges with compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary trauma—in addition to living our own complex lives. This healing collective is for you to be held and honored in the fullness of your work and personhood. Please consider STARLING a serious support for your needs at SQSH and beyond!
