The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network’s partner, the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA), hosted a webinar on March 21, 2023, during which a panel discussion was framed with the relational worldview model, an Indigenous model that looks at well-being as a balance between the four quadrants—environment, mind, body, and spirit. Panelists discussed navigating changes in relationships with their relatives from their experience living in a grandfamily/kinship family. Panelists discussed things that helped bring them balance and what support they needed from those around them.
