    Join Ken and Michelle as they discuss Kinship family resources and upcoming events with Idaho Family Care Navigator's Program Manager, Sheila Weaver, LCSW, MPA. "
    Grandparents and other relatives or friends who care for children whose own parents are unable to care for them are often referred to as “kinship” caregivers.

    The Idaho Caregiver Alliance is a coalition of individuals and organizations focused on expanding opportunities for respite as well as other caregiver supports across the lifespan.

    Established in 2012 with funding from the National Lifespan Respite grant to the Idaho Commission on Aging, the ICA has since grown to include over a thousand partners and members from across Idaho.

    Our work gives a voice to the community of over 300,000 family caregivers living within the borders of Idaho and offers a touchstone of support for this community" (ICA Website).
