This video is meant to minimize risk factors in kinship care. Dr. Joseph Crumbley answers the following questions:
- What are the cues and sources of loyalty issues experienced by relative caregivers?
- What are the goals, approaches, and scripts you can use with relative caregivers to help them manage their loyalties?
- How are loyalties issues different for kinship caregivers than nonrelative caregivers?
Child welfare professionals need to acknowledge these issues and assess their impact on the caregivers’ ability to provide for the child’s health and well-being.
