First Kinship Policy Summit a Success

After nine months of research across the state, we held a summit with our partners at the Alliance for Children’s Rights in early November to convene stakeholders, including attorneys, caregivers, service providers, case managers, and other community leaders, to discuss our policy recommendations to bring greater equity of supports and services to kin caregivers. We have entered phase 2 of the project, which includes publishing our report, strategizing a public awareness campaign, and fact sheets to help support kin caregivers at the time of placement.
