Keeping kids safe, connected, and close to home.
In Nebraska, relative and kinship care keeps children close to the people they know and trust. Whether you're a grandparent, aunt, uncle, family friend or other trusted adult in the child's life, opening your home to a child can give them the safety, stability and comfort they need to feel secure during challenging times.
Resources
- Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association
The Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association, NFAPA, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was formed in 1999 to increase the amount of information, resources and support available to Nebraska's resource families. - National Training and Development Curriculum (NTDC)
NTDC is a comprehensive no-cost curriculum that tackles separation, loss, grief, and trauma in adoption and foster care. This cutting-edge resource offers adoptive, kinship, and foster parents flexible education to empower them over the course of time and at the right time. Wording seems off here. - Creating a Family
Creating a Family is a support and training nonprofit for foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Their mission is to strengthen families and the professionals who support them by creating evidence-based, trauma-informed resources, community support, and training. Our vision is that every child has a family who understands their unique strengths and challenges and is equipped to help them thrive. - Grandfamilies
Grandfamilies.org is a national resource in support of grandfamilies within and outside the child welfare system. A grandfamily is a family structure where one or more children live with and are raised by their grandparents, other adult relatives or other trusted adults. - Families Forever
For families formed through adoption or guardianship, NCHS's Families Forever program is there for support. Their connections to community resources, one-on-one peer support, and educational courses can help you strengthen and deepen connections and relationships within your family. They use the evidence-based “Family Check-Up" and “Everyday Parenting" models. - Economic Assistance
Economic Assistance programs promote well-being and provide support to achieve self-sufficiency for families, children, individuals, the elderly, and persons with disabilities by providing medical, nutritional, and financial services.
