It's Kinship & Alternate Care Awareness Week and we are celebrating our wonderful kin caregivers. Kin help preserve and strengthen the connections to family, culture and community that shape a child or youth’s identity and sense of belonging. Their support can help families stay together and provide care when a child or youth cannot safely remain at home. We are so grateful for the relatives, extended family and community members who offer care, connection and support, this week and always. 💜
