This article from the Chronicle of Social Change describes the work of ChildKind, an organization based in the state of Georgia in the US which seeks to prevent medical neglect and children entering the foster care system by supporting families to stay together and care for children with special needs. "Childkind ensures all children with medical conditions in Georgia receive the support they need. Through a comprehensive program, Childkind provides children and families with home-based, placement and nursing services. At the same time, Childkind provides parents knowledge and empowerment tools to advocate for their child in school and government settings."
