Kinship and Grandfamilies have a Low Stress Summer

We empower kinship and grandfamilies raising children with disabilities or chronic illnesses by providing essential resources, advocacy, and support. Our services are designed to uplift kinship caregivers. Through education, community connections, and specialized services, we help families navigate challenges and access the resources they need to keep their relative children out of the foster care system and in the homes of their loving families.

Who We Serve

ISDD proudly serves kinship caregivers and grandfamilies across Metro Atlanta. Kinship caregivers are relatives—such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or even close family friends—who take on the responsibility of raising children when their biological parents are unable to care for them due to circumstances like illness, substance use, incarceration, or other challenges. Grandfamilies, a specific type of kinship family, are households where grandparents are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren.
