Edgewood Kinship Support Service

Description

When a parent is not able to care for their child, other family members often step up to fill the gap. Kinship Support Services programs throughout California support these courageous and caring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. Relative caregivers often have special needs linked to age, poverty, poor health, social Moreisolation, and inadequate access to information and services. Kinship programs addresses the unique needs of each caregiver and child by providing referrals to basic services, support from others who’ve “been there,” and a break from daily stresses. It’s a formula that works for caregivers and their children.
