Support for Every Stage

Four Programs Built Around
Real Families' Real Needs

From first contact through long-term stability — our programs meet kinship caregivers exactly where they are and walk every step forward with them.

Program 01

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

You raised your children. Now you're raising theirs. You stepped up because that's who you are. We step up with you — with practical tools, legal guidance, and people who truly understand.

What No One Told You When You Said Yes

The phone rang. Or a caseworker appeared at the door. And you said yes — because of course you said yes. But saying yes came with questions no one answered: How do I enroll them in school? What legal rights do I have? How do I access financial support?

Across the United States, approximately 2.7 million grandparents are raising their grandchildren full-time — most without formal support. All Things New Inc. was built to change that.

How We Support Grandparent Caregivers

  • School enrollment guidance and educational rights advocacy for grandchildren
  • Legal rights education: guardianship, custody, and kinship placement options
  • Financial assistance: subsidies, Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, and SSI eligibility
  • Emotional support and caregiver-specific mental health resource connection
  • Processing grief and trauma responses in grandchildren
  • Monthly Grandparent Support Group — in-person and virtual
  • Peer mentor matching with experienced grandparent caregivers

"My daughter went into treatment when my grandkids were 4 and 7. Overnight, I became Mama again at 67. All Things New helped me get them into school, get the legal paperwork sorted, and find other grandparents going through the same thing."

Program Impact

120+grandparent caregivers actively enrolled
92%report improved ability to access financial resources
85%of children maintain stable school enrollment

The grandparent caregiving population is disproportionately low-income, often female, and frequently unaware of available benefits. This program closes the information and support gap — building long-term stability for caregiver and child.

Program 02

Kinship Care Support

Aunts. Uncles. Siblings. Cousins. Close family friends. You kept the children in family — now let us support you through every step of the journey.

Program Impact

180+kinship caregivers supported annually
78%successfully navigate the legal placement process
91%of children remain within the family unit

Kinship care is the most prevalent out-of-home placement for children — yet kinship caregivers receive fewer services than non-relative foster families. This program bridges that gap directly.

Fund Kinship Care

$50 supports one guidance session helping a caregiver navigate their first 30 days.

Support Kinship Families

The Most Invisible Heroes in Child Welfare

Kinship caregivers often navigate complex legal systems without guidance, take on unexpected financial strain, and manage the emotional complexity of children experiencing loss — all while frequently unaware of the benefits available to them.

Research consistently shows that children in kinship care have better outcomes than those in non-family foster placements. Our job is to support the families making that possible.

What Kinship Care Support Includes

  • Immediate triage and stabilization for newly-placed kinship families
  • Legal navigation: custody, guardianship, and formal kinship placement
  • Financial resource identification: subsidies, emergency funds, benefits enrollment
  • School enrollment and educational rights advocacy for placed children
  • Caregiver transition support: practical guidance for the first 90 days
  • Trauma-informed guidance for behavioral and emotional challenges
  • Community integration and peer connection with other kinship families
Program 03

Education & Advocacy

Knowledge is protection. We arm kinship caregivers with the tools to understand systems, know their rights, and confidently advocate for the children in their care.

Program Impact

88%report improved understanding of their legal rights
93%successfully access at least one new financial benefit
4xmore likely to advocate effectively in school or court settings

Many caregivers lose access to support simply because they don't know it exists. This program closes the knowledge gap — a proven pathway to improved outcomes for caregiver and child.

Fund Education Programs

$75 provides a complete Know Your Rights workshop for one caregiver.

They Don't Know What They Don't Know — And That Is Dangerous

A grandmother who doesn't know she's eligible for kinship support payments may struggle for years without help. A caregiver who doesn't understand guardianship may lose placement rights. Information in kinship care is not just empowering — it can be the difference between a family staying together and falling apart.

Education & Advocacy Services

  • Know Your Rights workshops: legal options for kinship and grandfamily caregivers
  • School advocacy training: IEPs, enrollment rights, special education, meeting prep
  • Financial literacy: identifying and accessing kinship subsidies, government benefits
  • Court preparation: understanding hearings, preparing documentation, self-advocacy
  • Healthcare navigation: Medicaid, mental health services, insurance for placed children
  • Community education events and webinars open to all kinship families
Program 04

Life Coaching & Stability

From survival mode to stability — one intentional step at a time. Building routines, restoring confidence, and creating a household that works for everyone.

Stability Is Not a Luxury — It Is What Children Need

Children who have experienced trauma need safety and predictability above almost everything else. A caregiver operating in constant crisis mode cannot consistently provide either. Life coaching bridges the gap between surviving and thriving.

Our coaches meet every family exactly where they are — not where they should be. They help caregivers build structure, clarity, and forward momentum that compounds into real stability for the children in their care.

Life Coaching & Stability Services

  • Personalized 1-on-1 coaching — virtual or in person, weekly or bi-weekly
  • Household routine building and daily structure planning
  • 30/60/90-day family stability roadmaps with measurable milestones
  • Financial literacy and basic budgeting for newly-transitioned caregivers
  • Self-care planning for caregivers — you cannot pour from an empty cup
  • Goal-setting, accountability check-ins, and progress tracking
  • Crisis de-escalation support between coaching sessions

"I thought I just needed help with paperwork. After three coaching sessions, I realized I'd been running on empty for two years. My coach helped me see that taking care of myself wasn't selfish — it was necessary. My grandkids have a calmer home now."
