September - October 2010 Schedule
Kinship Care Education
 
If you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling,
etc. raising your relative’s children then you are a Kinship Care
provider. There is no formal requirement for you to attend classes
or workshops, but many kinship care providers have expressed a
desire for more training in specific areas to help them better
meet the needs of the children in their care and themselves as
well. You are welcome to attend any of the classes or workshops
in this website which were traditionally geared to foster parents.
Just call the registration line at 1-800-200-1222 or in
the case of the Support Group Workshops, call the contact
person for that group for directions.
Kinship Support Groups
Kinship Support Groups/Traditions of Caring workshops are
held throughout the county in collaboration with the local region's
Community Services for Families agencies who often offer childcare
onsite for the meetings. Just call the number for the group most
convenient for you to get directions and other information.
