When grandparents, relatives and close family friends step up to raise children, they shouldn't have to do it alone. According to a new report from USAging and the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network (Generations United) many Area Agencies on Aging are delivering key supports for kinship families, including respite services, caregiver education, counseling and help accessing resources.

The report also shares practical tools and resources available through the Network to help communities strengthen support systems for kin caregivers and the children they raise. Find out more: https://bit.ly/460Nurr.
