Kinship Care Webinars

This October 6th-10th, we will proudly celebrate Ireland’s second-ever Kinship Care Week. 

As there is a new in person kinship drop in support in your community, in St Brigid’s Family Community Centre. We are inviting you to register for a free webinar on kinship care taking place on Monday 6^th and Friday 10th to support the referral pathways for the kinship carers in your community.

On behalf of the 10,000-12,000 children and young people in Ireland who live full-time in the care of relatives and friends, we are calling on all allies of kinship care to come together to celebrate, support, and spotlight kinship families. Let’s show kinship families we know that their #KinshipCareCounts. 

We are joining our global allies from 38 countries in recognising the strength and contribution of kinship families worldwide. Together, we can shine a light on the diverse, resilient, and inspiring kinship families in every community across Ireland. 

                     Register for our FREE webinars happening throughout the week. Register for webinars by emailing info@kinshipcare.ie specifying which webinar(s) you are signing-up to (see list attached).
