Abstract

Kinship caregivers are often considered the preferred placement for children in foster care. Children placed with kinship caregivers tend to have better emotional and behavioral health outcomes than children placed in other settings. Despite this, kinship caregivers receive limited resources to help provide for the children in their care.
