Abstract
This study explores the experiences of kinship caregivers in the North Region of British Columbia, paying particular attention to what those experiences tell us about their needs. It utilizes an exploratory case study design, using three sources of data: interviews with kinship caregivers, interviews with social workers, and file reviews. It looks at the types of children that are in kinship care and the types of families that provide kinship care. This study also explores the thoughts and experiences of the social workers who are facilitating kinship care placements. It closes with recommendations on changes in practice around kinship care as well as ideas around areas for future study. |
