KinHub

KinHub is a grassroots community initiative supporting families who often feel like they’ve slipped through the cracks. Our primary participants are those experiencing “School Can’t” — a complex and often misunderstood form of school refusal that affects many neurodivergent children. At KinHub, our mission is to build a connected, empowered community where families feel seen, supported and less alone.

Right now in Australia, 1 in 3 families experience daily school distress. Almost half of all students are chronically absent. It’s a huge issue and too many families feel isolated, judged or unsure where to turn. That’s where KinHub steps in — with lived experience, compassion and a deep understanding of what these families are going through.

Our youth led weekly meetups offer a safe, neuro-affirming, trauma-informed space where children and parents/carers can simply be themselves. It’s a place to connect with others who get it, build friendships, share stories and learn.

In just one year, 98% of KinHub families told us they felt better socially and emotionally. 93% felt more connected, and 83% said their children were engaging more with others.

Right now, our biggest priority is to support the parents and carers holding so much. With your help, we can launch a peer mentorship program to reduce burnout, offer emotional support and help make KinHub an even more nurturing space for the whole family.
