This free service helps connect Michigan’s kinship families with help available from thousands of health and human services agencies and resources across the state of Michigan. Based on caregiver input, categories such as basic needs, legal support and child care are searchable based on city or zip code. To begin your search, [click here]
Support, Information, & Referral
Are you a grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, or other family member raising a relative’s child? Are you a service provider that works with kinship families?
What is a Kinship Caregiver:
Kinship care is the full time care, nurturing and protection of children by relatives, members of their tribes or clans, godparents, stepparents, or any adult who has a kinship bond with a child (Child Welfare League of America, 2011).
While kinship care is often a rewarding experience for both the child and their relative caregiver it can also come with many challenges. The Kinship Care Resource Center can help.
