Kids Are Inspirational

We Need Your Help

Current Projects

In researching key areas in Play therapy and Mindful Meditation, we aim to create programs so the needs and mental wellbeing of sick children and their families are provided for by the assistance of volunteer Occupational Therapists and Mindful Meditation Coaches.

Funding

As with all programs, funding is vital for the longevity of the program. Applications for community grants and also sourcing sponsorship from associations in the specialized field of Occupational Therapy, suppliers of therapy aids for children and associations in the Mindful Mediation community will be part of our ongoing projects.

Volunteer

Volunteers are vital for the success of our programs. A dedicated team is required to work together in accordance with a work plan. Occupational Therapist and Meditation Coaches will be highly desired, but anyone with a passion to see these programs reach the community is encouraged to join the team.

About Kids Are Inspirational

We aim to provide children and their families with direct health, financial and practical support when needed as well as develop Volunteer and Mentor programs by creating a link between existing Health Services, students specialising in Paediatric Health and Occupational Therapy and Volunteers.
