Supporting kinship caregivers in Mesa County

When families step up to care for children in need, they shouldn’t have to do it alone. Recognizing the unique challenges that kin providers (relatives or close family friends) may face, Mesa County Department of Human Services (MCDHS) offers a range of support services to help them navigate this journey:

Case management: Personalized support to help caregivers access resources and services

Counseling & Therapy: Professional guidance to support emotional well-being and family stability

Training & Education: Tools and knowledge to empower caregivers in meeting a child’s needs

Kinship caregivers play a vital role in keeping children connected to their family roots and community. If you or someone you know is caring for a relative’s child and could use support, we’re here to help!
