KINSHIP SUPPORT GROUPS
When you go to a kinship support meeting you get a chance to connect with other Kinship Caregivers by sharing stories and information, offering support and listening to each other. Some group meetings provide childcare, and this gives the children an opportunity to meet and socialize with other children in similar situations.
