Coping With the Unique Challenges of Kinship Care; Model 2: Guilt

More than 139,000 children in foster care are living in kinship placements with thousands more are in informal kinship care arrangements. As child welfare systems increasingly prioritize placing children with relatives, the Casey Foundation has created a video training series — Coping With the Unique Challenges of Kinship Care — as a resource for kin caregivers and the child welfare workers who supporting them. Therapist and trainer Joseph Crumbley hosts the sessions.
This module focuses on how relative caregivers can manage their understandable feelings of guilt because of changing family dynamics.
