Description: 

Services Area: West Region and North Desert Region of San Bernardino County
 

Our Helping Hands Kinship Support Services Program works with the Foster Care system by lending a helping hand to relative caregivers and non-relative extended family members, also known as kin caregivers. Helping Hands Kinship Support Services Program offers these families the help and support they need to stay together as a family.

Through kinship placements, families are maintained, traditions upheld, and children move less and experience fewer behavioral, educational and/or health problems.

Our services are designed to combat the isolation, stress and other needs kinship families encounter in their day-to-day lives. To meet these needs we provide support groups, parenting classes, informational workshops, caregiver respite, children’s activities and family recreation. Additional services are developed or referrals made in response to caregiver and kin-child individual needs.
