Celebrate the extraordinary impact of kinship and family! September brings us both Grandparents Day and National Kinship Care Awareness Month, A time to honor the incredible grandparents, relatives, and close family friends that step up so that children can avoid non-familial foster placement and remain with family.

These heroes give love, stability and a sense of belonging, keeping families connected during challenging times. Read on to learn about the vital role of kinship families in creating hope so youth can thrive.
