Kinship Care Social Group

The Kinship Care Group offers peer support and parenting strategies to grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, or other extended family members or friends who are raising children because their biological parents are unable to do so. Those who have an active, hands-on connection in raising extended family members or friends’ children are also invited to join.  The goal is to offer a supportive environment to help families share their experiences, learn new parenting skills, and share concerns, information and resources.
