KinCarolina program works to support kinship caregivers

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – One support program aims to help kinship caregivers in the Midlands.

Curtis spoke with Kimberly Janha, CEO of Kindred Hearts, about the KinCarolina program.

She says the six-month, comprehensive program works to find resources for kinship caregivers raising children with disabilities or special health care needs.

It consists of bi-weekly support groups, monthly informational sessions with community-based experts, and weekly, one-on-one support from a peer liaison.
