This workshop will explore the formation and impact of a popular multi-service “one stop shop” for relatives caring for minor children. Kin families are becoming ever more prominent as caregivers for children. The KARE Family Center, a collaboration of Arizona’s Children Association and Casey Family Programs, has served 6000 kinship families in greater Pima County since its inception in 2002. The informal and participatory service model allows client families to enter and re-enter the Center for services as their needs dictate. Services are family driven and strength based, depending on a mutuality, openness and respect between caregivers, staff and the community. Caregivers begin their journey in crisis; craft service plans that frontload basic legal, financial and emotional supports, and transition to become advocate educators for the program and the population. Workshop includes guest caregiver presentation, video, interactive exercises, and samples of art prepared by KARE caregivers and youth.

Presenter: Laurie Melrood is the founding director of the KARE Family Center. Following 8 years of service as a coordinator of the Pima County Court Appointed Special Advocates Program and supervisor of adoptions for the Pima County Juvenile Court, Laurie worked in coalition to create services for relatives caring for children in Pima County.

This workshop addresses the issue of cultural competence and how to define it, develop it and assess it among social service professionals. Much has been said and written about the need for greater cultural competence among professionals across many disciplines but little has been offered that directly addresses how to accomplish it.
