COBYS Kinship Connections supports and connects kinship caretakers to needed resources in the community.

A website, resource, referral line, and virtual classes and workshops addressing pertinent topics for Kinship caregivers are available. Additionally, the Kinship Connections program offers individual Kinship caregiver consultations with a parent educator to provide support with behavioral, social, or other parenting challenges with your kinship child.
