The Kinship Navigator Program provides support to families who are caring for other’s children. They can be another relative to the child such as a grandparent or aunt, or a close trusted friend or neighbor. The program helps families connect to necessary resources, expands family support services, seeks to reduce stress, and promotes family stability.
Services offered:
We host support groups that focus on the unique needs of children who have been neglected or abused.
- Navigating the child welfare, mental health, and educational systems including crisis intervention services
- Providing training and licensing assistance to relative care providers
- Connecting caregivers to food, clothing, and other tangible resources
- CMFCAA is currently providing these services to foster, adoptive and kinship families.
