KIN-VIP Support Groups
Resource Category: Support Groups
KIN-VIP support groups provide a safe, confidential space where caregivers can share their experiences with their peers. Kinship Caregivers can participate in any of the available support groups, which meet at various times each month. Attendance is optional, so caregivers can attend as many meetings as they desire without being committed to any particular support group.
KIN-VIP support groups are open to all kinship caregivers throughout the state of Kentucky.
