Envisage

ENVISAGE Families is an evidence-based program that is underpinned by principles that align with the values which guide our work at Kindred. Recognising the value of families and peer support, and empowering them to support their child’s development through a strength-based approach.

The ENVISAGE peer support program empowers, supports, and connects families with knowledge, information, tools, and resources, but most importantly, other caregivers who share similar experiences. ENVISAGE Fanilies was carefully crafted in collaboration with parents, service providers, and researchers from Australia and Canada.

The Australian Government is supporting caregivers raising a child and/or children aged 0-8 years with disability, autism or developmental concerns to access the program for FREE.

Consisting of five workshops, accompanied by engaging activities and helpful resources available on the online learning platform. Workshops are offered both Face to Face and Online (you can find out dates for the workshops being delivered by Kindred below), and cover important areas including:

• Health and well-being in early child development.
• Child, sibling, and family development.
• Parenting values and child-caregiver relationships.
• Self-care and wellbeing for caregivers.
• Techniques for communicating, collaborating and connecting.
