National Kinship Care Month

September is National Kinship Care Month, and across the country, communities are raising awareness about both the strengths and unique needs of kinship families.

Join the Celebration on Social Media

To help you take part in the celebration, our Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network created a digital media toolkit with customizable resources to support your outreach. Use it to amplify and celebrate the impact of kinship care and spark conversations in your community.
