This 2.5-hour workshop provides a supportive and informative space for kinship caregivers to explore key issues that impact their caregiving experience. Co-facilitated by two experienced caregivers, the session combines personal stories, expert insights, and peer connection.
Participants will:
- Gain clarity on financial supports available to kinship caregivers (including MCFD assistance, tax benefits, and subsidies)
- Learn about the legal frameworks surrounding guardianship, custody, and adoption — plus how to access legal support
- Explore effective strategies for advocating for children and youth within social services and community systems
- Connect with other caregivers to build relationships and find ongoing support
Don't miss this opportunity to learn, share, and discover more ways to support your family!
