I love that kindred is run by passionate and inspiring families that understand what it’s like to have a child who is medically fragile with disability. I have learnt things, been inspired and encouraged by Kindred on so many levels. I wish I had Kindred in the early years of navigating our child’s life.
Free support for families raising children with disability and medical needs
Navigating the health and medical systems with a child who has a disability, developmental delay, or autism presents unique challenges. From supporting your child through medical appointments and procedures to balancing hospital admissions around the needs of your family. The journey can be overwhelming.
We understand the challenges families face and are here to support you on your journey. Through our free virtual programs, you’ll gain skills and confidence in supporting your child while being connected with other parents who are walking similar paths.
Resources
Our resources offer practical tips, strategies, and personal perspectives to assist you in managing the day-to-day realities of your child’s disability and medical needs and help you make informed choices.
Virtual Medical MyTime
Created specifically for parents and carers of children with disability, delay, or autism who also have medical needs, this peer group provides a safe space to share your hospital and healthcare experiences, seek advice, and find validation and healing.
We feature occasional guest speakers and insightful topic-based discussions to grow your skills. Regular check-in sessions connect you with other families, helping you build a supportive community of people who understand your situation.
Our groups are delivered online on Zoom. They are facilitated by an experienced peer support facilitator who is the parent of a child with disability and medical needs.
