Description

Balancing Transitions and Traditions – Holidays as a Kinship Caregiver provides helpful insights and perspectives on supporting kinship caregivers and their children who are separated from their birth families during the holiday season. Navigating family dynamics can be challenging, especially during this time of year. Kinship children require compassion and understanding as they navigate their emotions and adjust to transitions amidst holiday celebrations. Let’s discover thoughtful and purposeful ways to celebrate with our Kinship families.
