More Info To Ease Your Mind
Kinship is a community platform hosting virtual sessions via video chat. Each session begins with an opening talk by a relatable speaker who shares from his or her own lived experience. Then, we use dynamic matching technology to place you into a small breakout group of 6-8 individuals and a trained facilitator who will guide your discussion with thoughtful prompts. It's a science-backed, community-centered way to feeling better that actually works. Interested? Join the waitlist and your first session’s on us!
Safety and privacy is at the core of our experience because you need to feel safe in order to feel comfortable opening up. Kinship sessions are never recorded, and you only use your first name or a nickname. None of your personal data is shared. Community guidelines are in place to maintain a welcoming space of non-judgment for you to come, relax, and just be yourself.
You can RSVP on your phone but right now Kinship live sessions are only on desktop for the best experience for yourself & your group members.
While we hope you don't, should you experience any technical issues during the talk or small group, we have support staff at-the-ready. There is chat support available during the opening talk and, outside of that, you can always report an issue to support@ourkinship.com.
Life happens – we get it. If possible, try to cancel your RSVP ahead of time. You won’t be penalized for missing a session, though, so don’t sweat it.
You sure can! We’re constantly updating and improving the experience, and your ability to ‘friend’ people and connect outside of sessions is a highly requested feature. If you ever want to share feedback or suggest a new feature, please contact support@ourkinship.com.
