Legal Basics: Grandparents and Other Non-Parent Kinship Families
When: Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET.
The number of grandparent and relative caregivers raising children is increasing each year, and our understanding of how to support these caregivers continues to evolve. Legal services programs can play an important role in connecting non-parent caregivers to support. This Legal Basics training will provide law and aging network professionals with an overview of legal issues surrounding non-parent caregivers, including tools and initiatives to support families. Participants will hear from expert speakers about the role of a kinship navigator program and gain insight into forming a state-wide kincare taskforce.
Closed captioning will be available on this webcast. A link with access to the captions will be shared through GoToWebinar’s chat box shortly before the webcast start time.
