Family Voices United launches regular "Share Your Perspective" questions on timely topics relating to child welfare. This campaign centers around the question, "In an effort to keep young people with their families, what specific supports should relatives or kinship caregivers receive?"
The identified priorities from lived experience leaders on how to best support kinship caregivers include:
- Help us meet our basic/ practical needs.
- Connect us to support and advice.
- Support us to build our community.
- Advocate for equitable, system-level supports.
- Show us tools to prioritize our wellbeing.
- Facilitate family environments of unconditional love and support.
