KIN-VIP Support Group – Relatives Raising Kin

Relatives Raising Kin is a community of kinship caregivers who come together for support, friendship, and information. Our goal is to connect families with one another to find resources, get answers to questions, and support each other. We are a general kinship community open to anyone providing kinship care in Kentucky.

Facilitated by Judy Russell, Mental Health Specialist for Fayette County Public Schools, was raised by her great-grandmother from infancy. In her 20’s, Judy began caring for her sister’s three children that she later adopted. Throughout her career, Judy has supported kinship families through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and the public school system.

As a result, Judy has worked with countless youth and their families, helping them navigate the challenges of raising children of all ages while supporting caregivers in their journey. Come with questions, come with suggestions, come for a community who can support and encourage YOU!
