Nonprofit Spotlight: Healing Complex Kids
By ANGIE ARLINGTON
Healing Complex Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families of children with autism, ADD, learning challenges, and complex medical conditions. The organization’s mission is to empower parents with the resources, education and support they need to help their children and families thrive.
At the heart of Healing Complex Kids is a deep, personal mission. The Cadmans have walked this journey themselves, navigating the challenges, frustrations and triumphs of helping children with complex needs heal and thrive. Their passion stems from firsthand experience, and their unwavering commitment is driven by the belief that no family should have to walk this path alone. Through Healing Complex Kids, they are turning their personal struggles into a source of hope, providing families with the tools, resources and support they once searched for themselves. They believe every child deserves a chance to heal, and every family deserves a pathway to hope. “Since our founding 20 years ago, we have impacted thousands of families through educational programs, one-on-one consulting and community events. We believe that every child deserves access to effective interventions and the chance to live a fulfilling life,” said Julie Cadman. Through events like the Pathway to HOPE Wellness Walk, Healing Complex Kids empowers families with the tools and support they need to create a brighter future for their children. We help families navigate the many challenges of raising a child with special needs—from understanding complex medical and developmental issues to accessing the right therapies, educational support, and focused care. Many families struggle to find reliable information, advocate effectively, or afford the resources their children need. That’s where we step in—offering expert-led guidance, educational materials like the Pathway to HOPE Resource Guide, and personalized one-on-one consulting to help families build tailored road maps for their child’s care.
There are several ways to support Healing Complex Kids and make a lasting impact on families with special needs. Whether it’s through donating to help distribute our guidebook, funding scholarships, or sharing your time and talents at future events, every contribution helps us walk alongside families and change lives. Our community is filled with powerful stories—moments of transformation that redefine a child’s future and rewrite a family’s legacy. At Healing Complex Kids, we walk this path together, and every step forward brings hope, healing, and the promise of what’s possible.
This year marks the launch of the Pathway to HOPE Resource Guide for Special Needs, by Julie Cadman and Dana Cadman with 14 contributing authors. It’s a comprehensive tool designed to help families navigate their child’s healing journey. Pathway to HOPE was released on March 10 on Amazon and became a #1 bestseller in five categories and an international bestseller.
