Engaging Kinship Caregivers: Managing Risk Factors in Kinship Care – Video Training Series

As the number of kinship caregivers increases for children in foster care and more child welfare jurisdictions adopt a “kin first” placement practice, the need to provide specialized support for relatives is becoming even more crucial. However, with the added complexity of child welfare system involvement, financials stress, and multigenerational loyalty binds, these families deserve assistance from professionals trained to meet their unique needs. The Annie E. Casey Foundation developed and sponsored this five-part set of training modules to strengthen the skills of child welfare professionals in supporting families to improve outcomes for children. The modules are led by Dr. Joseph Crumbley, an internationally renowned kinship trainer and consultant.
