title: Kinship care in northern British Columbia.
abstract: An exploratory case study design using three sources of data-interviews with kinship caregivers, interviews with social workers, and file reviews-was used to identify the needs of kinship caregivers in northern British Columbia. The research found that kinship caregivers identified many needs that must be addressed if kinship caregiving is to be a viable and sustainable option for children in need of care.
