Kinship Caregiver Action Plan

This interview helps kinship caregivers in Ohio find information on court processes, enrolling children in school, getting children medical care and getting access to benefits. 

When a child cannot live with his or her parents, kinship caregivers often take over the full-time responsibility of caring for that child, providing ongoing stability, support and guidance. The definition of a kinship caregiver also goes beyond the scope of relatives and may include an adult who has a relationship with the child or the family.

At the end of the interview you will get a summary of basic information with links to more detailed information and forms.
