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 Belongside Families on so many levels. I wish I had Belongside Families 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.
At Belongside Families (formerly known as Kindred), 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.
Coming Soon!
In March 2025, we are launching a new webinar series and online community group for families that have a child with disability and medical needs. Join our mailing list to find out when they launch.
