💜 September is Kinship Care Month 💙
Kinship care means a child is cared for by a kinship caregiver. A kinship caregiver is a person related by blood or marriage, adoption, tribal law or custom, or cultural custom or practice; or an unrelated adult with a strong familial or other significant bond, or someone identified by the child’s parent.

💜What are the benefits of Kinship Care?💙
Research shows that when children are placed with kin they:

💜Have better connection to family
💙Experience less trauma
💜Feel a sense of safety
💙Feel like they belong
💜Feel connected to their culture
💙Have better mental health outcomes
💜Are in a more stable placement because children are less likely to need to be moved to another home.

We wish to recognize and thank our Kinship Care parents and providers who help to provide safe and supporting placements for children! Such care helps to improve their well-being and increase stability while reducing trauma. We are forever grateful for these caregivers in all that they do to ensure children receive the proper love and support they deserve 💜💙

September is Kinship Care Month.

Kinship caregivers are relatives, family friends, or other adults with a meaningful connection to a child who step in to provide care for them when their parents are unable to. They provide stability, support, and a safe place to call home.

We’re marking the month with education, outreach, community events, and resources for kinship families across the state.
