Our Mission

We empower families of neurodivergent children by equipping parents and caregivers with supportive community and practical resources—informed by evidence and experience—to help families thrive.

About Us

We’re all working hard to help our children thrive. Getting affordable care and in-school services can be complicated, and requires so much time and effort. Structural barriers created by classism, racism, and ableism make it even harder to support our children. As a community of millions of families, let’s tackle this together.

Flock is a team of advocates, builders, and parents united by the belief that families deserve support and access to evidence-based information. Flock is hosted by Luminary Impact Fund, a family mental health 501(c)(3) venture capital fund, at which Madeline Kerner serves as Entrepreneur-in-Residence.

Flock was selected as a Fall 2025 Innovation Hub Fellow at Georgetown University’s Thrive Center for Children, Families, and Communities.
