Kinship Care
Kinship care is a beautiful testament to the strength of family bonds, providing a nurturing home for children in need within their extended family network. At Caring Hearts, we honor and support these vital family connections, empowering extended family members to step up and provide loving homes for children facing adversity.
What is Kinship Care?
Kinship care refers to the arrangement where children who cannot live with their biological parents are cared for by relatives or close family friends. In kinship care, children are placed with individuals who have a pre-existing relationship with them, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles or family friends. This type of care aims to maintain the child's sense of belonging within their family and community while providing a stable and nurturing environment.
Preserving Family Ties
At Caring Hearts, we understand the importance of preserving family connections. Kinship care allows children to remain within familiar environments, surrounded by the love and support of their extended family members. We honor these connections and empower kinship caregivers to provide stable and nurturing homes.
