This coffee talk is designed for county and tribal social workers, supervisors, and other child welfare professionals working with relative caregivers as a permanency option for Transfer of Permanent Legal and Physical Custody (TPLPC). While Northstar Kinship Assistance was intended to unify benefits and remove barriers to permanent placement, some kinship caregivers are still choosing to decline assistance. This coffee talk will equip you with policy guidance and best practices to ensure families are making their best and most informed decisions.
