Kindred Place, originally founded by the Exchange Club of Greater Memphis, opened its doors in 1984 to serve the community by preventing child abuse and providing family counseling. This 27,000-square-foot facility, located at 2180 Union Avenue in Memphis, TN, was built through dedicated fundraising efforts and has been a cornerstone of support in the Memphis community.
In July 2024, during a crucial financial juncture, Kindred Place transitioned to become a comprehensive program pillar of the SchoolSeed Foundation. This acquisition has allowed Kindred Place to not only continue offering specialized services such as therapeutic individual and group counseling but also to align more closely with SchoolSeed's mission of strengthening families.
SchoolSeed’s Kindred Place program offers a range of services focused on strengthening family relationships and promoting emotional health. These include:
Individual therapy for children and adults to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Group counseling sessions that provide support for specific issues like parenting challenges, adolescent behavior, and coping with family transitions.
Family therapy designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and foster a supportive home environment.
Parent training programs that equip parents with the tools and strategies to raise emotionally healthy children, manage behavior constructively, and build strong, positive family dynamics.
Educational workshops and seminars for the community that focus on child development, conflict resolution, and effective parenting techniques.
At SchoolSeed, our mission is to enrich the community by nurturing families and creating supportive environments for children. We foster a network of support that uplifts every family and child, collaborating closely with residents, local organizations, and businesses. Our programs aim to deeply impact the community, enhancing not only educational outcomes but also holistic development and family stability. We believe that strong families form the backbone of thriving communities and are committed to catalyzing lasting positive change.
SchoolSeed's Kindred Place is dedicated to fostering environments where children and families can thrive, supported by our legacy of dedication to the welfare of the Memphis community.
