About this Event

Description:

Kinship is an important component of prevention services and has been a traditional means of family system support. Kinship Caregivers are diverse across multiple intersectional identities not only due to the range of ages among caregivers, but also across culture, race/ethnicity. Historic oppressive practices to remove children from their parents have disproportionately impacted black, brown and indigenous children. Recognizing the importance of lived experience in informing the goals and supports available to families served is a vital component in addressing important policy changes. We will provide some basics about Kinship Care and discuss not only the array of concerns faced by kinship caregivers but also the changes needed in mindset in order for the child welfare system and ultimately our communities, to implement supports for kinship families, specifically according to what they need.

Objectives:

As a result of this course, participants will be prepared to:

1. Recognize why the categories of Formal, Informal and Diverted are important factors in determining access to supports and services for kinship caregivers.

2. Recognize the differences in needs between kinship caregivers and foster care families.

3. Consider the unique cultural experiences that impact the way kinship ties are understood within a family and how their perspectives inform decision making and engagement with those who could assist them.
