Free Kinship Caregiver Support Groups - Denver Metro | Catholic Charities

About This Group

The Kinship Caregiver Program at Catholic Charities of Denver supports caregivers of all cultural and faith backgrounds who are raising a relative’s children, often because of the death or illness of the biological parents, drug abuse, or incarceration. As Bilingual Kinship Program Manager Sarah Burgess puts it, “not everyone is looking for resources; they are just looking for support and a community of people who are in a similar experience.”

Ways to Find Support

The program offers monthly support groups in both English and Spanish, with childcare included, across five counties: Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, and Douglas. Beyond the support groups themselves, kinship families can also connect through family events held throughout the year, plus access short-term case management, special trainings, and connections with local agencies and caseworkers, all at no cost.

Who This Is For

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives raising a family member’s children, in Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, or Douglas County.
