The Kinship Navigation Program links grandparents and other caregivers to services and supports specific to their family’s needs. Accessed through Waypoint’s Family Resource Centers, experienced Kinship Navigators provide emotional support, education, guidance, referrals, and follow-up services to promote independence and enhance the well-being of the families they serve. Navigators help with a wide range of issues including healthcare, education, childcare, financial assistance, and legal questions about protecting your rights and the child’s well-being.
Kinship Navigation services are free, confidential, and available to grandparents and other caregivers who are raising a child/children in the absence of the child/children’s biological parents.
PASTA is an ongoing support group for all kinship caregivers including grandparents and other caregivers in the position of raising a child or children 18 and under. This free support group is a great place to meet caregivers like yourself, learn new skills, and gather resources.
