Overview

Mission

Child mental and physical well-being have been on the decline for over 50 years in the USA, the wealthiest nation on earth. Kindred world began as a grassroots, consciousness-raising organization of parents and professionals in 1996, twenty-five years into america's decline to the bottom of all international indicators for family, maternal, and child health. Today, kindred world's mission and vision of a wisdom-based, wellness-informed society are more relevant and important than ever. During the current climate crisis, the 2020 pandemic, and political upheaval, kindred's world's quarter century of investigating and sharing the award-winning science-based new story of our human family is a blazed path to wholeness and wellness ready for others to follow. Our many initiatives carry out this strategic vision through bold leadership and an integrated digital ecology. You can read our 99 five-star reviews on our great non-profit's page.
