Rooted within NH’s Family Resource Centers, the Kinship Navigator Program links grandparents and other relative caregivers, both inside and outside of the formal child welfare system, to the services and supports specific to their family’s needs. Kinship Navigators provide emotional support, education, and guidance to relative caregivers, and offer information, referral, and follow-up services to promote independence and enhance the well-being of the families they serve.
Kinship Navigator Program participation is free and voluntary and open to grandparents and other relative caregivers who are raising a child/children in the absence of the child/children’s biological parents.
