Resources for Grandparents
Source: MN Kinship Caregivers Association (MKCA)
Host Agencies are the regional contact point for inquires
from and for grandparents, other relatives, and close family friends who are raising
children. The Host Agencies reach out to relative caregivers within the designated
area with the assistance of local collaborative partners. They accept program
inquiries within their area; implement monthly Grand Kin workshops, which will include
educational and peer support elements throughout their region and refer caregivers
to one-to-one support of mentors.
The
Kinship Network includes support
groups that are not designated Host Agencies, but may work collaboratively with
the Host Agencies in providing support to the caregivers of children.
