Lessons from the Journey: What Kinship Caregivers Wish They Knew (1.5 Credit Hours)
Based on insights from nearly 12,000 families served by Foster Kinship, this webinar explores what formal kinship caregivers most often say they wish they had known at different points along the journey. From the first days of placement, through the licensing process, to the challenges of reunification or decisions about guardianship and adoption, the session distills common themes and lessons learned. Designed for both kinship caregivers and professionals, the discussion will highlight practical takeaways to help caregivers feel more prepared and supported, while also offering professionals a deeper understanding of the lived experiences that shape kinship care.
