The school holidays are just around the corner. For many families, this means a change in daily routines, and often a change in support needs.

Kiind can help you plan ahead by connecting you with inclusive events and activities, as well as free or low-cost supports and services, so your whole family can enjoy the holidays together.

Our Peer Navigators all have lived experience supporting a family member with disability, along with extensive knowledge of the health, disability, and education systems.

We can support you with:

🟣 Preparing for the school holidays
🟣 Connecting with cost-of-living supports
🟣 Finding strategies for behaviour support
🟣 Understanding your child's rights at school
🟣 Strategies to support transitions
🟣 Advocating for your child
🟣 And so much more!

No question is too big or too small. Our team is here to support you at any point along your journey.

We’re excited to welcome you back to the Kiind podcast channel, this time with a brand-new sub-series, Kiind Stories!

As part of our original Kiind Conversations show, Kiind Stories shines a light on the everyday experiences that shape our community.

For our very first episode of Kiind Stories, we’re honoured to be joined by Sew Choo Loh. Sew Choo is a Kin Disability Advocacy Ambassador, a Kiind member, and a mother of three.

In this episode, Sew Choo shares her journey of raising a young person with a late autism diagnosis. She speaks about the challenges of being part of a culturally and linguistically diverse community in Australia, facing unfamiliar systems, experiences of racism, and the cultural stigma surrounding disability.

Through it all, Sew Choo reflects on how these experiences shaped her path toward becoming a passionate advocate for her family and others like them.

Joining us for this episode is Teresa, who you’ll recognise as the host of Kiind Conversations. In her final episode with us, Teresa will be guiding the conversation.

Whether your child has a clear career path in mind or is still exploring their options, our Virtual MyTime session is here to help.

In this session, we’ll explore different pathways into employment and the supports available to help your young person build confidence and take their next steps toward work.
