@USGAO just released a new report that describes the characteristics of kinship families, how their challenges may have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic, the resources they are accessing, and how the federal government primarily supports them.

[Generations United @GensUnited]

@USGAO The findings underscore the essential role relatives play in raising children and the continued need for strong supports.

Life doesn’t "paws" when you’re sick — neither do grandchildren, work, pets, or
responsibilities. This fall, protect yourself before illness hits. Vaccination is the best
way to protect against severe illness from respiratory diseases. Learn more:

When grandparents and relatives step in to raise children, they’re too often met with barriers instead of support.

Every caregiver deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.

November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth — a time to honor and celebrate those caring for their loved ones.

[Generations United @GensUnited]

Caregivers come in many different forms and though traditionally we honor those caring for older adults and disabled individuals, we must also remember to honor the grandparents and other family members who step up to care for children whose parents are not in the home.
