Kinship Care Meeting
A Kinship Care Meeting is a place to stop and take a breath and try to gain control over the situation in which you find yourself. It is a safe place to share experiences with other Grandparents and Relatives raising children; a place where you learn from each other and find out about programs for which you and the children may be eligible. All Kinship Care meetings are free, and open to all Kin Care givers regardless of county of residence. (Some meetings will require an RSVP) Call 770-538-2650 to confirm meeting schedule.
