Description

The Gathering Spot is a great NEW way to meet other kinship caregivers from the comfort of your own home and has been designed to be a spot where you can come for as long as you would like to meet other kinship caregivers, make a friend or two, and gain valuable information to help you in your kinship journey!

This is not strictly a support group, this is a virtual meeting space designed to connect caregivers together and create a kinship community, so that you can learn about important resources or information essential in your kinship journey.

Facilitator: Meet Christy Vincent, your Gathering Spot facilitator! Christy has been a kinship caregiver since 2017, when she began caring for her grandson. Christy reports this journey has been both the “most challenging and most rewarding experience” she has had in her life. Christy is passionate about kinship care and wants all kinship caregivers to know they are not alone in this journey and, even though it can be stressful, can walk this journey with joy, excitement, and love. Christy is a certified KY-KINS Peer Support Specialist and her goal is to ensure kinship caregivers have all the resources they need to feel supported and empowered!

This connection meeting is offered every week on Thursdays at 6:30 pm EST.  Come and get connected!!
