Dear Reader,
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of something transformative. At Kids Need Both, Inc., 2025 has been a year of growth, healing, and empowerment for families navigating high-conflict separation and custody battles. Your support makes it possible to bring peace where there was pain, and connection where there was conflict.
💡 Here’s What You Helped Us Accomplish in 2025:
📚 Education & Court-Approved Programs
- We served 155 individuals through our court-ordered parenting, anger management, and domestic violence prevention courses.
- That’s 935 hours of life-changing education delivered — tools that helped parents become safer, calmer, and more child-centered.
📞 Hope4Families HopeLine
- Families in crisis reached out through our HopeLine, where they were met with compassion, coaching, and clarity by trained professionals including mediators, therapists, educators, and advocates.
📖 Global Healing Through Storytelling
- We nurtured 22 new authors across multiple states and countries, guiding them to share their powerful stories in Building Bridges of Hope, Volume 2: Strengthening Co-Parenting and Family Bonds. BUY YOUR COPY
- Contributors came from Australia, Canada, Nigeria, Mexico, the UK, and across the U.S. — reaching readers worldwide with messages of resilience and reform.
- The live author showcase amplified their voices and helped spark a movement of hope for alienated and struggling families.
🧠 Thought Leadership & National Collaboration
-
Through the Hope4Families Strategic Alliance, we spotlighted changemakers like:
- Christina McGhee (Split Film Project)
- Cindy Hirsch (International Support Network for Alienated Families)
- Ann O'Keefe Rogers & Tina Mayer (Mental Health Awareness Cruise)
- We sent over 3,630 monthly emails to parents, professionals, and allies — packed with guidance, partner events, and encouragement for families in conflict.
🏫 Local Impact in Florida
· In partnership with Rotary Lakeland South, we supported elementary school students in blighted communities, showing up with resources, care, and compassion.
· We launched our Empowered Parenting course into the local school system, making parenting education more accessible to families most in need of support.
· We piloted our brand-new DIY Divorce Course, empowering individuals to navigate the legal process of separation with dignity, confidence, and clarity—without costly attorneys. This course is designed to reduce conflict, save families thousands in legal fees, and provide a compassionate, step-by-step roadmap for those ready to consciously uncouple.
✨ Why It Matters
When families are in conflict, children are often the silent casualties. Your Giving Tuesday donation helps us give parents tools, support systems, and hope—so that children can have the best possible chance to thrive in both of their homes.
Together, we can:
- Interrupt cycles of generational trauma
- Rebuild parent-child relationships
- Equip families with the education and coaching they need
- Advocate for systems that support rather than divide
