Kinship Care Meetings Dawson County

Kinship Care Meetings coming to Dawson County in SEPTEMBER!

Are you caring for your niece, nephew, or grandchild in place of that child's own parents? If yes, the Kinship Care Support Group meeting is a great place to connect with others who understand the benefits and challenges of being a Kinship Caregiver.
 A Kinship Care Meeting is a place to stop and take a breath and try to gain control over the situation in which you find yourself. It is a safe place to share experiences with other Grandparents and Relatives raising children; a place where you learn from each other and find out about programs for which you and the children may be eligible.  
Dawson County Family Connection is looking for volunteers to help facilitate Kinship Care Meetings in Dawson County. Volunteers will be responsible for providing childcare during meeting time which will include serving dinner (dinner provided by Dawson County Family Connection) and implementing an age appropriate activity.
VOLUNTEER HOURS QUALIFY FOR STUDENTS SERVICE SEAL

Hello Dawson County! The CRRU team, which recruits, trains and supports foster families for Dawson County, are looking for faith partners willing to allow us to use their church facilities to teach foster parent classes, or hold events for foster parents in Dawson County. This is a great way to connect with and support local families stepping up to do the hard work. If you are interested in learning more, or scheduling a time for me to come out and meet with you,
contact Rebecca Davidson at Rebecca.Davidson@dhs.ga.gov.
It takes a village, and thank you in advance for reaching out to learn more.
