Bethany
Community Support runs a Kinship Carer Support group, called Nurture
Until They Shine (NUTS).
NUTS meetings are a great way to meet other kinship carers in the local area in a supportive
environment that is relaxed and informal.
These groups are open and welcoming and can provide a place to find support:
- support:
- around caring for
children who have been dislocated from parents, and who may have experienced
trauma
- for people on their
journey of learning to be a carer, like strategies for taking care
of the family unit
- around relationships with
the child or young person’s family and other networks
- help
with practical things, like find camps, holiday programs and support services
for children
- information
about other services that might be available to help and how to access them.
