During , we’re raising awareness and recommitting to listen, uplift, and work with kinship families all year long. 💜

Supporting kinship caregivers is a shared community responsibility.

There are many ways to be part of a child's network of support: mentoring a young person, advocating for family-strengthening services, or simply being a trusted presence for a child or caregiver navigating a difficult time.

SAFY works alongside kinship caregivers, providing education and consistent support to help children experience stability and belonging.

Kinship caregivers bring consistency and commitment to the children in their lives. They manage school meetings, appointments, and daily routines while preserving the family connections children rely on. Many take on this role unexpectedly, navigating it alongside their own work and personal responsibilities.

This National Kinship Care Month, we recognize the commitment kinship caregivers bring to the children and families in their lives. Their dedication strengthens the communities we all share.
