World-renowned kinship expert Dr. Joseph Crumbley, who is a Network subject matter expert, will explain how family dynamics in kinship families differ from those in other families. Kin caregivers who are navigating the challenges that arise in their family dynamics as a result of their caregiving role will learn: 

  • How kinship care changes and impacts family dynamics, especially caregiving roles, family relationships, and loyalties to one another. 
  • How they can help family members adjust to changing relationships and family dynamics.   
  • How they can use coping strategies to adapt to the emotions they experience, such as loss, grief, and resentment.  

This webinar will also be relevant to the professionals who serve kin caregivers, as they will be able to apply the lessons of Dr. Crumbley’s presentation to their work with kin caregivers.
