Help for Grandparents and Relatives Raising Children From PA KinConnector
PA KinConnector is an information, referral and education program for kinship caregivers in Pennsylvania, and you can reach it by calling 1-866-546-2111. It provides guidance, advice and support for grandparents raising grandchildren and for other relative and non-relative kinship caregivers.
It is for kinship caregivers in any of Pennsylvania's 67 counties, including Berks. Kinship caregivers are blood and non-blood relatives who care for children when their biological parents can't. That includes grandparents, aunts or uncles, siblings of the children requiring care, cousins, and non-blood "relatives" such as a teacher, coach or family friend.
The KinConnectors assist caregivers by providing information on financial assistance, legal information and referrals, and help with other issues caregivers face when raising children, with the goal of stability and permanency in the home.
To get started, call 1-866-546-2111. You can also fill out the Permission to Contact Form on kinconnector.org so the program can contact you. The site also has brochures and Kinship Family Kinfographics, an at-a-glance list of county services, and information about support groups, including the KINdred Spirits virtual support group.
