Kinship Care is when a child lives with a family member. Here are some reasons Kinship Care is so important.
1. It prevents the trauma of being placed with strangers.
2. It reinforces the child’s identity and feelings of security.
3. It allows children to remain within their extended family network.
4. Children living in Kinship Care are less likely to re-enter foster care.
5. Kinship Care improves the child's cultural and familial connections.
Hooray for all those family members who take on this great act of love!
We were honored to have the Megan Montgomery Foundation present on domestic violence perceptions, prevention and the trauma associated therewith. Thank you Susann, Rod, Meredith and Dottie for sharing this important information with our volunteers, staff and Board.
Domestic Violence Prevention In-Service Training
Due to a power outage at the Birmingham Family Court, the CASA In-Service training has been moved to the Bessemer Family Court. 12:00!
