Description: Relatives Raising Children keeps families intact by providing resources and advocacy to kinship and relative caregivers who are raising children not theirs by birth. Some of the reasons children come to live with relatives include death, deployment, incarceration or abandonment. These newly formed families need information and resources to help manage the initial transition process. Services are available to Pierce County residents at no cost. Services include: information, referral, resources, advocacy, IMPACT seminars (non-parental custody), Hopescloset, counseling, relatives raising children support groups, scholarships for youth activities, emergency assistance, and community resouces.
