Kinship Caregiver Perception of a State-Supervised Kinship Navigator Program

This study evaluated a state-administered Kinship Navigator (KN) program providing information and support to grandparents and other relatives caring for children who are not in child welfare custody. Caregivers’ perceptions of types of services, impact, satisfaction, and areas for improvement were examined. Caregivers (N = 92) reported feeling supported, gaining knowledge about services, and feeling highly satisfied with the program. Caregivers expressed needs for additional financial assistance and more time with their KN. Findings suggest that the KN program may meet key service needs of informal kinship caregivers, but additional staff time and financial resource advocacy would improve the program.
