Happy National Kinship Care Awareness Month!
Driven by a shared commitment to kinship families, fifteen team members from across Pressley Ridge states and roles came together for a two-day summit focused on learning, reflection, and innovation.
Together, they explored evolving national standards for kinship care and examined our own practices to ensure the Treatment Foster Care/Kinship Care Service Line continues to provide meaningful, responsive, and high-quality support to kinship families.
Many participants brought personal connections to kinship care—as caregivers, family members, or individuals with lived experience—adding depth, passion, and authenticity to the conversations.
As states continue to shape and define kinship care, Pressley Ridge remains dedicated to staying at the forefront of best practices, strengthening our services, and honoring the unique strengths and needs of kinship families.
