Tackling loneliness and isolation by connecting kindred spirits for mutual support

Kindred Us is tackling feelings of isolation and loneliness, which have reached epidemic proportions. Today, the technology that connects us also contributes to feelings of loneliness and despair, as so many sites are filled with vitriolic interactions, social media curates everyone's seemingly fabulous life, and real, authentic relationships seem fewer than in the past, making it harder for each of us to contend with the real challenges we face on a daily basis. We believe that by connecting people with similar interest who are also on similar journeys, their empathy and mutual support will help them both achieve more through confidence, accountability, and empathy. The potential impact is massive, but some of the most critical areas we will be focusing on are: - Depression and anxiety - Obesity, diabetes and weight loss - Addiction including nicotine, alcohol and opioids - Coping with Divorce - Elder care and supporting widows and widowers - Veteran transitions - Recidivism - Challenges of being a caregiver - Chronic illness And many more. We are on a mission to connect people with purpose to support a more empathetic, happier and supportive society.
