Hello! My name is Audrey :~)

I have volunteered and worked as a peer supporter and community facilitator since 2018. After recovering from growing up homeschooled and isolated in a high control group, I became hyper-fixated on learning everything I could about social health. Informed by science and my lived experience, I now know that building strong relationships is salutogenic healthcare, and that isolation invites a plethora of physical and mental health issues.

I created Kithship as a vessel for connection with others that feel similarly about the importance of platonic relationships and intimacy. I wanted to nurture an environment that felt playful, homey, and safe for people like me. And though not everyone has been raised homeschooled, or in a high control group, many of us do carry around strange things from our childhoods that make us weird at parties.

I hope to see you at a gathering soon!

xoxo,

Audrey
