Home Centers & Labs Kentucky Kinship Resource Center
The Kentucky Kinship Resource Center (KKRC) provides a continuum of services to meet the unique needs of kinship providers across the Commonwealth. Through comprehensive and creative training and education programs, innovative peer support and mentoring initiatives, and broad-based advocacy, KKRC provides the support and resources needed for kinship providers to safeguard the well-being of the children in their care.
“As a kinship caregiver, I wasn’t able to access programs like KKRC. For many of our caregivers, it is such a relief to know they are not alone. To know that they are heard. To know that there is help. That is what the KKRC is all about.”
Jessica Adkins, Peer Support Specialist
“KY-KINS has a singular focus to support kinship caregivers in all aspects of their kinship lives. Ultimately, we hope to have a positive impact on the people we are able to serve through the program."
