Islington Families support groups

London
In person
Online

This group is led by Kinship staff and is open to all kinship carers in Islington. The group is a safe space for kinship carers to get together and talk to other carers. We give one to one support to carers who are having issues around kinship care.

The group offers:

– emotional and practical support
– advice around therapeutic parenting and benefits
– signposting and referrals into the appropriate services
– champions training if requested

There are two groups in Islington: Kinship Champions and Kinship Care & Connect.
