Kinship Services and Kinship Care
There are two kinship programs available through the Children’s Aid Society of St. Thomas and Elgin – Kinship Service and Kinship Care. Both programs are designed to allow children to be placed in the care of people they know, often members of their extended family and/or other members of the child’s community support group – someone the child is familiar with. Kinship options are always explored for children who are in need of protection, prior to having a child placed in foster or group care situations.
