Are You Raising a Grandchild or child of another family member or friend? Kinship Navigators can help!

Kinship families are families in which children live with and are being raised by grandparents, other extended family members, or other adults with whom they have a close family-like relationship such as close family friends.
Kinship caregivers can often use help with all of the practical issues surrounding a suddenly larger family.
Kinship Navigators help new and long-term kinship families get connected to healthcare, financial help, legal help, support groups, emergency funds, benefits, and more!
Use the WA State AAA and Tribal Kinship Navigator Contacts (as of May 2023) to find your local Navigator.
