Being placed with kin offers several advantages that can significantly impact a child's well-being and development. Kinship care plays a vital role in providing a stable, supportive, and loving environment for children in foster care. It helps preserve family connections, cultural identity, and emotional well-being, which are all crucial for a child's healthy development and long-term success. #ChangeAChildsStory #NationalWellnessMonth

Children who can't safely remain with their parents do better with kin than with strangers in #FosterCare. But kinship families outside the formal system aren't eligible for crucial supports that foster families receive. Also, outcomes of children diverted from foster care to kinship care are not tracked and these children have no plans to work toward reunification with their parents. Our systems can do much more to ensure good outcomes for children in #KinshipCare.
