Common Challenges of Kinship Care:

Kinship care providers often have no formal custody arrangement.  The Kinship Navigator can direct and advise on how to obtain legal custody.

Medical needs for children can be difficult to meet.  The Kinship Navigator can help find a doctor and can advise on how to secure medical benefits for the child.

Financial stresses incurred while providing kinship care can be significant  The Kinship Navigator can help find monetary resources for eligible families.

The daily stresses of providing kinship care can be addressed by the Kinship Navigator.  In addition, if the child or adult presents therapeutic needs, the Kinship Navigator can recommend service providers.

The goal of the Kinship Navigator Program is to provide the entire family with support and encouragement.
