Financial assistance programs, such as the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program, provide essential ongoing support for the care of children when reunification with their biological parents or adoption by other families is not feasible. However, these programs are underutilized by relatives who step in to provide stable, permanent homes for these children, partly due to unresolved internal conflicts about accepting financial support for caring for family members. Formative data (N = 178) and Bayesian inferential methods were used to examine whether a tailored training and support program for kinship caregivers could influence the internal conflict and attitudes of these caregivers concerning their acceptance of financial assistance. The study also assessed whether reductions in internal conflicts differed by program delivery mode: in-person versus virtual. Findings indicate that internal conflicts and stigma (a) reduced after participation in the program, (b) reduced with both delivery modes, with greater reductions among the virtual participants, but (c) did not reduce for participants of the standard foster parent training program. Results trending in the desired direction indicate that kin-specific training and programs may have crossover effects on internalized financial stigma, thus highlighting the need for future evaluations to affirm these results and inform intervention planning.
