You might be familiar with foster care, but have you heard of kinship arrangements? ⬇️
When a child can't live at home due to difficult circumstances, kinship arrangements are an alternative solution within their extended family network. The major benefit? Children can remain …connected to their culture and heritage while in the care of people they know and trust.
Kinship arrangements can be with family friends, grandparents or extended family members, or even teachers and community members who already have established relationships with the child and their family. These arrangements provide less emotional disruption to the child's life and can offer a smoother process toward a safe environment.
To learn more about kinship arrangements and how we can support, visit our website at the link in our bio @huronperthcas 🏡
