This resource is designed as a quick reference tool for kinship care service providers and advocates, meant to help them design and provide culturally sensitive services to grandfamilies and kinship families who identify as “Black” and “African American.” It also serves as a guide for staff orientation/training to work in this community. This tip sheet contains highlights from Generations United’s complementary toolkit, which provides detailed information, resources, and infographics. The terms Black and African American are often used interchangeably. In this tip sheet, we generally use the terms “Black” and “African American” as they are used in the sources that are being quoted. The toolkit also includes definitions and explanations of key terms used in this resource.
