This work is heavy, Fam.
You deserve a place that helps hold you, too.

Kinship Club is a community for child therapists and school-based clinicians who are tired of doing this work in isolation.

Come for the consultation and play therapy support. Stay for the people who truly get it.

Does this work feel heavier than it used to?

Real talk — you can love this work deeply and still feel completely drained by it.

On any given day, you’re advocating, collaborating, problem-solving, crisis managing, documenting, emotionally attuning, and trying to hold steady for everyone around you.

Meanwhile, you’re carrying:

  • The big emotions of the kids you support
  • The stress and overwhelm of caregivers
  • The pressure and limitations of the systems you work within
  • The exhausting question of how to keep doing this work sustainably

It’s no wonder so many helpers end the day emotionally flooded, disconnected, or questioning whether they can keep doing this long term.

This work becomes a lot harder when you’re carrying it alone.

This work becomes lighter, more sustainable, and more meaningful when you have people beside you.

Exploring the big emotions and behaviors of the kids you support
Thinking through hard clinical moments with people who truly get it
Growing your confidence and expanding your play therapy toolbox
Navigating complicated systems without losing sight of your values
Feeling connected, supported, and less alone in the work

Community care matters.

The same compassion, curiosity, and support you offer everyone else deserves to come back to you, too.

That’s the heart of Kinship Club.

Clinical support. Real community.

Inside Kinship Club, you’ll find consultation, connection, clinical support, play therapy trainings, and a growing library of resources designed to help you feel more confident, more grounded, and less alone in the work.

Whether you’re brand new to play therapy or years into this field, there’s space here for honest conversation, shared learning, encouragement, troubleshooting, and community.

This is a place to be seen, supported, and reminded that you were never meant to carry this work alone.
Kinship Club support community

Support, consultation, and community for the people supporting kids.

Most child therapists and school-based clinicians are expected to hold incredibly complex emotional work with very little meaningful support.

Kinship Club exists to make this work feel sustainable, connected, and supported.

Why people stay.

Being a child therapist or school-based clinician can feel incredibly isolating sometimes — especially when the people around you don’t fully understand the emotional weight of the work.

Kinship Club offers something many helpers don’t realize they’ve been missing until they experience it:

Inside Kinship, members celebrate one another, support each other through hard moments, share resources and encouragement, troubleshoot difficult cases, and remind each other that none of us were meant to carry this work alone.

No matter where you are in your career, there’s space for you here.

Whether you’re brand new to play therapy, deep in the realities of agency or school-based work, exploring private practice, or simply looking for people who truly understand this field — Kinship Club is designed to support you.

Inside the community, members learn from one another, share resources and ideas, ask questions, process challenges, celebrate wins, and grow alongside people who genuinely get the work.
