$0.00
Kinship Live Webinar Events are offered at no cost.
Making the Most of Your Dollar LIVE Webinar was presented on 1/17/2023 and provides helpful insight on ways in which kinship caregivers can perform selfcare to manage the stress and exertion of their responsibilities. Kinship caregivers are charged with not only taking care of their kinship children, but also taking care of themselves to ensure they provide the best quality of guardianship they can.
This training is an informative resource customized to Kinship Caregivers and Kinship Foster Parents designed to enhance skills, identify resources, and gain confidence in their role as a caregiver. It is our hope that by utilizing this resource, attendees will receive educational and helpful information. However, it is important to note that this resource is not approved for foster parent training credit or CEU’s as attendance is not monitored during the webinar event.
Description
With today’s prices, including inflation and rising costs, making each dollar count is becoming increasingly important in meeting our expanding budgets. For Kinship caregivers, learning how to make the most of every coin and dollar is essential when taking on the additional costs related to caring for relative and fictive kin children. From daily expenses such as grocery shopping to doing our taxes, we’ll explore how to make the most of each dollar!
In this webinar, we learned strategies for developing a spending plan that matches what we earn, identified the goals that are important for our families, and discovered ways that we can save money in our daily lives-including tracking what we spend, prioritizing what is important, and setting goals for what we want for our families. As an added bonus, we’ll also learn about how caring for a kinship child can impact a caregiver’s 2022 taxes-including any tax credits families are eligible for.
