Mar 19 2024 • 21 mins

In this episode, we talked to Marisa who along with her mum has been a kinship carer for seven years. Though they work as a close-knit team, it's her mum who has the special guardianship order, which means she has a long-term legal responsibility for the child they care for. Marisa talks about how they work together to raise a child, while at the same time running a kinship peer support group. She describes how the group has given both her and her mum great companionship and support as they provide a safe, loving home environment.
